NOW HERE is a man who knows what he is talking about..

as much as Ingwe's experiences mirror mine... I admit that I have even a lot more fondness for RL 7..

I use it a lot in the 223, 22.250 and larger cartridges to boot...this from a guy who easily goes thru 8 to 10 lbs of IMR 4198 ..and 10 lbs of Blue Dot and SR 4759 a year to boot..
in about 18 months or so...
