Not sure this powder is even available down here, but wondering if any of you fellas have tried it in 30-30 or 303 savage. Just scored a lot of 170grn speer & noslers for my 303 sav and the bit of reading ive done seems to indicate better velocity than other powders.
Appreciate any comments

Roy, I thought there would be a bunch of fellas using this powder over there, I am really surprised as it seems like it would certainly bump velecoty without a presure splike

I tried some in my 336.
When I got to 25.5 grains in the workup t produce sub inch groups and 2400 FPS with 150 grain flat nose TSXs. I stopped right there. The book tops out at 28.5 and the increses were very linear. It's the real deal as far as I am concerned.

Well just looking at the Hodgdon reloading data, it shows a velocity of over 2300 fps with the 170grn in a 30-30. That well over 200fps than any of the other powders shown and presure looks fine.
Going to try and find some over here for my sav 99 303
