Who uses this stuff?
I picked up 3 lbs to develop a 338 RUM load using the 250 Accubond. Was going to start development this spring but the old COVID-19 has my ao shutdown. Hoping to get 2800-2900 fps out of the 26" barrel.

I currently use it in a 257 Weatherby with 115 gr Bergers and a 6mm-284 with 105 Bergers. At one time I used it with a 300 Rum and 230 gr Bergers. Seems to work best with the heavier range of bullets for any given caliber with large cases.

I am currently messing around with a .30-caliber wildcat that is way over bore and that is one of the powders that the Hornady ballisticians recommended that I try.

I have wondered if RL33 might be the powder that could bring the 8mm Rem Mag to its full potential.
Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.

It’s my go to for the Mashburn with 175’s and 180’s.
I’ve also used it with 120’s in a 257 Wby and 300 RUM with 220’s. Pretty good powder for me.
