I picked up a can of this stuff when it was first released about 2 years ago to try in my .223 with 40 gr. Vmax. The max load listed in the scarce loading data said 25.2 grains. I loaded up to that charge with no luck. In fact, it was the least accurate powder of 6 that I tried. So, I put it on the shelf for a few months. Then one day last year, I loaded some more up and went from 25.5 grains to 27.5 and HOLY CRAP! The groups shrank with every increase of powder until I got to 27.5 which produced 3/8" groups and average velocities of 4015 fps!! That is 200 fps more than N133 or Benchmark gave me with the same charge!
This stuff is awesome for light bullets in varmint calibers. I can't wait to try it in my 6 BR.
If you haven't tried it yet, give it a whirl. I think you will like it! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
