if they were concerned about someone making a bomb, they would have outlawed every pistol powder, especially Bullseye.
The change was made because of cuts in manufacturing, to make the powders more profitable. A change here, and there, and a lot of dollars can be had. Blame it on everything except greed.
I have some original 2400. Checked pressures with it, compared to the stuff made today. Yes the new stuff is higher pressures, but not enough to write home about. 22 grains of 2400 with Keiths 250 grain bullet (weighed) is still king. I may back it down to 21 grains, but the cases still fall out, with no sticky extraction with 22. If the recoil bothers you, go lighter, and learn how to hold a gun.
Most people do not know how to hold a sixgun. I know I did not until shown by a gentleman that was double distinguished, a master with the 45. Everyone who shoots needs to get lessons from someone like this. Until then shoot light loads, and close your eyes. You will go bang, and maybe hit something. The rest of us will clean up the mess.
