Anybody use this powder? I have a chance to pick some up at a decent price, but never hear anything about it. I know it is a shade slower than the IMR version. How is accuracy? Does the pressure curve seem pretty close? I have several loads worked up with IMR, and wonder how they might carry over?
Thanks

I've used them pretty interchangably... it is more reloader friendly when reloading 22 caliber rounds over the IMR version..
real close to RL 15 burn rate and make up...
I've often wondered if they don't buy it from Norma just like Alliant buys RL 15 from Norma/Bofors

I have some that says it was made in the Czech Republic. You never know with accurate though. Mag pro was made in South Africa at one point and now it says USA. I think they change manufacturers for the same powders.

I've used it in a 35 Whelen quite a bit. I like it under 250 gr bullets and it is in my "go to" load.

My 6mm likes it a lot with 75 Vmax. Its real close to IMR but a short cut version. Meters much easier.
