Can someone clarify what hardware is required for these reloads? I thought the whole point of this was to make the AMW propellants available for CTI Pro 54 hardware, but that doesn't seem to be the case (no pun intended).
I believe you use the AMW hardware and CTI made the propellant for it.

That is correct. We use our propellants that are cast in AMW sized liners. You will also get a disposable nozzle, igniter pellet and igniter. It is like flying a Pro54 (minus ejection charge) in a AMW54 casing. No worries about nozzle cleaning/breakage or erosion.
ProX dealers can order these for you, or have 'm in stock. We also make some AMW75 compatible loads.

Cool, thanks for the responses. Ever since Tim had me try out a Cesaroni 54mm load at Octoberfest last year I'm hooked on em. You just can't beat how quick and easy they are to deal with. Time to add a selection of Pro 54 casings to my stash.

No doubt! I personally don't like dealing with reloads that I have to rely on instructions (which vary by casing size, propellant, etc.). If you know how to build an AMW 38mm load, then you know how to do their 98mm stuff. Ditto for Loki.
Cesaroni has taken things even further - loading takes no tools, no time, and it is pretty hard to screw things up 😀 Not having to clean up casings is frosting on the cake. I love it.
Years ago, we did our "100K in a Day" project where we flew the same rocket to over 100,000' cumulatively in the same day. We did it on Pro38 loads. That would NOT have happened with I284s. We'd STILL be cleaning casings... or looking for missing o-rings.

The signed casing is still in my office here: 28 flights, 11,256 Ns, 105,529 ft.
