What’s it good for?

I load for 6mm, 7x57, 280, 30-06, and 338 win.
Seems like a good place on the burn rate chart.

Thanks

Unlike N560,I haven't found a use for it where something else works better. I still have that 2# jug.

Used it recently in both .243 and .270 Win. Worked fine in both, 2 different bullet weights in both. I picked some up when it's best ability was availability, and will continue to use it when it's a fit. It's a bit expensive, but that wasn't so much of an issue when other powders were not available. I've got a few lbs on the shelf, but I'm not rushing out to buy an 8 lb jug.

It is my go-to powder choice for my 300 WSM. It pushes 155 Scenar’s to 3285 fps with a middle of the road load. Shoots 1/2 moa every time.
