APS450 is the first in a new range of advanced, Australian made propellants. Developed in a world leading propellant facility in Mulwala, technicians have adapted new processes and formulations, fine tuning the capabilities and characteristics of the smokeless propellants to produce the new APS range.
They continued the clean burning and uniformity of our existing AS/AP propellants and will produce soft, smooth recoil and excellent patterns. These propellants have outstanding metering and case fill characteristics, and ballistics that lend themselves to a range of popular loads.
A key feature of the new APS range is improved and more consistent metering, particularly against the old AS range. The grain form is a cylinder flake, which is ~15% smaller than the AS30N and AS50N diameters. Also, the APS450 propellant has a slightly longer mean cut length to the older range.
