There is some load data from Hodgdon floating around using H 1000...the charge was like 50 grain ( IIRC)....

tried it with 142 matchkings and some 160 RNs...

bughole groups.. the 160s REALLY liked that powder and charge weight...

I have a container of Rl 25 sitting around getting dusty..

I also picked up two containers of Alliants new AR Competition Powder...

Giving it a work out in the 223 and 22.250 right now...its very accurate.... one thing I have noticed is that when the barrel heats up with it, groups DO NOT open up... I've been testing it at 200 and 300 yds....

I was going to try it out in my VLS in 260 with 120 grain Matchkings next...

its burn rate is suppose to be faster than RL 15, and slower than RL 10...haven't chronographed it in the 22.250 or 223 yet, but they both are flatter shooting than normal using that powder..

its made by Norma, for 223 and 308 competition in ARs and M1As...

Thanks to Mathman for pointing out an error! on burn rate analysis
