I am sure you did get a quick reply. I think it is best to discuss such matters with a powder company that it's for use for use in old fluid steel guns. Most of the world is not enlightened about the strength of good condition thick damascus and twist steel barrels. Alliant has to concern themselves with product liability laws and I suspect once use of nitro in composite barrels comes up the discussion will end quickly. Hopefully I am wrong.
