Good information.

Thanks Rooster, I thought it was a good article myself, two of the three progressive powders they mentioned are favorites of mine in Power Pro 4000 (I hope it's not gone for good), and Hybrid 100v. PP 4000 meters crazy good from a Chargemaster and under a 147 ELDM has been an excellent load for the 6.5 CM.

Yes and it's a bit of a different animal than most double bases even. Progressive burn rate. Rl17 and 26 are also prog burn rate, and I think staball 6.5 and leverevolution are too. Finicky but when it works it really works (they even advertise it as such). Love it in my .300 Winnie. Got a 120 barnes tac tx to hit 4050 fps.
