It's sad that a powder perfectly situated in the Hodgdon powder burn chart between Varget & H4350 had to be recalled. It worked perfectly in my 220 Swift giving me the best accuracy in my rifle with top velocities and low ES/SD. I hated to dispose of my last pound on the lawn but only did so because safety comes first. Now what is Hodgdon going to do about filling that nitch between Varget and H4350 on the burn chart? Are they going to give us an "EXTREME" Hodgdon replacement? I certainly hope and pray they do!
 
Definitely want to dump it....mine turned bad with strong odor and red dust on it. Had to pull down about 100 rounds as well.
