Have any of you ran this powder yet?
I haven't tried it, but the data seems nice.
Thanks,
loder

I've tried it in a few cartridges and at around 70 degrees got the velocities they list, with good to great accuracy. But it isn't one of Hodgdon's Extreme line, and is pretty temperature-sensitive.

I'm shooting it in a 6-284 Stiller, and a Cooper 6.5-284. 95 VLD's in the 6-284 and 130 VLD's in the 6.5. Good velocity in both, very good accuracy and it flows through powder measures very consistantly. I haven't tried it in any others but I am happy with it in the X-284's

Thanks guys.
6mm, I may give it a run in my 6-06 and 6.5-06, nearly identical capacity as your 284s. Sounds like it will work on the 06 case as well. Have you ran it against R17?

I have not tried RL 17. I'm happy with the Hybrid so I think I'll just stay with it

Loader, I asked a similar question a few months back about my 25-06. Got a few responses. Maybe they can help you too. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...yone_Use_Hybrid_100V_Powder_#Post6302279I am almost onboard in trying that powder, but I keep tossing back and forth on what bullet to use. Good luck and if you do try it, let us know how it works for you. Kique

Damn. I wish I'd read this yesterday. Probably wouldn't have loaded up all those rounds with H100V last night!

Turned my 6mm into a real good shooting gun with 95 NBT's. Went from an OK shooting gun to one I would be hard pressed to get rid of. Velocity is running 3215 from a 22" barrel.

It matches the velocities and gives good accuracy in my .416 rigby, 400 gr. Hornady. Shows promise in .348AI, too.

...isn't one of Hodgdon's Extreme line, and is pretty temperature-sensitive. Is this from experience? Is this a nitro based powder? This is the only stuff that is in stock locally and I'm out of this burn rate. Hmm.

I have used it with very good success in my .257 remington with 100 grain TTSX. As to being temperature sensitive, I saw no discernible change in accuracy when shooting the max. load at 70 degrees and the same load at 28 degrees.

Anybody else experimented with temperature sensitivity?
