[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2468125, member: 109862"] I find it’s slower burning than advertised. It’s a progressive burn rate too, which complicates things. I love it in my .300 win but it NEEDS to have 100 percent case fill for the best results, more than most powders. If not, your es numbers are crap and accuracy just so-so in my experience (and I did try it in my .243 too). Between being progressive (rl17, rl26, win staball 6.5, and I beleive leverevolution are also progressive burn rate powders - when you get them to work they’ll give higher velocity at equal pressure to anything else but they can be finicky to find their sweet spot compared to old school imr single base powders like the excellent 4350 you mention) and being a ball powder it just really shines with full load density and sucks with anything less. Ymmv but give it a try if you got it for sure. [/QUOTE]
