[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1616191, member: 109862"] I’ve played with it a bit when it first came out. I’m considering doing so again now that I know what I’m doing a bit more and see if I can make it work. It is finicky. Not as in dangerous spikes or especially temp sensitive or anything, but it seems like there’s a really narrow charge weight window in which it performs in an optimal manner, meaning full velocity potential with consistent velocity spreads. I see Hodgdon and Barnes have data showing awesome numbers in 30-06 and 270. My experience was with 180 grain sst in 300 win mag and 75 hp and 100 btsp in .243. It gave good velocity with the 180s and 100s. The 75 grain 243 was the load Hodgdon had published right on the can and it didn’t come anywhere close. The powder has a slower burn rate than was initially suggested in comparison chart size. I left it because while it gave almost weatherby speed in my win mag, the extreme spead with both this and the 243 was a little over 100 feet per second. [/QUOTE]
