[QUOTE="jreagle, post: 2081732, member: 40992"] Here is my 2 cents on this powder. Was excited to give this a go. Saw that the powder was available and had to give it a try. Its easy to throw consistent charges either manually or automated; flows like liquid so to speak. Started an initial work up with this powder in 3006 stainless ABolt and 300 Wby MKV Accumark in .5 grain increments shooting Hornady 178 Bthp in both and additionally a 200ELDx in the Wby. Around a total of a box of bullets + 20 ELDx through both rifles. It seems that the burn rate is near RL19 or between RL19/IMR4831 and RL22. It seems like a faster burning magnum powder to me and a fairly clean burning powder, certainly cleaner burning than the RL powders. 3 shot groups in my rifles were average, not exceptional nor was ES exceptional in both cartridges. Nothing really 'Wowed' me in the initial series. More resources would be required to verify if this powder could be a suitable replacement for hard to get (at this time) powders that are working in my rifles. May try 178 ELDm and 208 ELDm when i have time and can get a hold of 500 of them. Usually have good results with those 2 bullets. Right now i am getting tighter groups and more consistent ES with RL22 in the 300 Wby and H4350 in the 3006 with the BTHP (did have a 'wow' moment when working up with these 2 powders initially in the past). Its not much info, but thats all i have...... Need more range time with this powder with different bullets to see if i can rely on it. [/QUOTE]
