[QUOTE="johngibbs222, post: 2160870, member: 49619"] I use it almost exclusively in my 223 and 308, have tried some others made by vihtavouri but this powder meters so well and is so clean burning. IT works fine in 22/250 and also in 30.06 though surprisingly in 30.06 v 308 it does much better in the 308 with 48.3 grns giving about 2840 fps in the 308 and 49.5 grns giving 2730 fps in the 06, must be down to the case capacity. Just a heads up pressures in the 22/250 are in excess of 62000 plus psi so work up your loads cautiously, pressure in the 06 and 308 almost identical at around 59000 psi. FWIW both my guns are ruger single shot so I neck size only, weigh every charge and use S&B primers, I'm also happy with 3 shot groups around 1" at 100 meters. [/QUOTE]
