Tubb Dust

[fatelvis]

I know it's been brought up in the past, but really didn't have any conclusive answers. Have any of you guys been using Tubb Dust in your powder, and if so, does it seem to be eliminating the copper? As well or better as the factory added varieties? Thanks

from my understanding not all powders have an anti copper additives, a lot of pistol powders don't ether, I have read things about retarding the burn rate or some such thing about how the powder burns with it in, but take everything I say with a grain of salt. not an expert on anything.

I've used it for several years but have ceased, due to it changing the weight of the powder cup while using my Auto trickler.
The cup needed to be wiped out about every 10 drops as the Tubb Dust left a deposit in the cup even though I followed the directions of only using 10 grains for a pound of powder {500 grams} and shaking it well to mix.
I also coat my projectiles with HBN and that I feel has been a better solution to copper fouling as well as consistent velocity.
Tubb sells HBN kits as well as Bullet Coating {personally like BC's kit as it comes with some media to aid coating} and since neither one will ship internationally, I now import the powder and make my own kits.
Small market in OZ as it is a bit of neich market but it at least makes it available to those that may want to do this.
LOTS cleaner than Moly and no sulfer left behind to cause corrision...

I have not noticed any change in the amount of copper fouling since I stopped using the T-Dust.
I principly use Varget {AR2208 here where it is made} and 4831SC {Ar2213SC also made here}
Not sure if they have any "anti fouling" ingrediants.
BWT: The Tubb products and Bullet Coating {he was very responsive and helpful, unlike Mr T...}
were all just suitcased back by me after a vistit to family and friends...
If ya have any Mates or family in Yankee Land just have it sent to them and than transhipped to you here in OZ, no issues through the post.
