[QUOTE="NZ Longranger, post: 1044225, member: 14"] Thanks Kirby. Yes, the thing that has limited our testing so far in other calibers is we had such a small supply of it, and it has proved to be [I][B]the[/B][/I] powder the 338 FX/AX, so we couldn't afford to use it up unnecessarily. Now we have a decent amount, we will certainly be trying it in our 7mms, especially the 7mm Fatmax, which is the 300 Norma necked down and improved. I think it will prove to be ideal in that. Interesting your results in the 7mm AM. I'm not so sure it will replace a good slow batch of US869 in our 7mm FX though (similar to your 7mmAM) as far as getting velocity verses pressure, but we'll see. It certainly hasn't in the 300 FX, and is down 100fps over the best slower burning batches of 869, and about 50fps down from the later lot# faster burning batches. It equals or beats Re50 in every application we've tried it in so far though, which has largely made that redundant for us anyway. And also N570 as you say. Just got to find time for more testing!
