Who knows about this stuff? I am now the proud owner of a keg.

Rich,

I can find out whatever you want, since it is a French powder. What are your needs?

Rich,

Here's a link to the Nobel Sport mini-version of loading tables. You will see that Tubal 2000 is one of the fastest rifle powders. It should work well in the smaller cases (.223 and .243) as well as for the lighter bullets in the bigger cases. Probably works well in the the straight walled cases like .458 WinMag as well.

According to the Vihtavuori reloading chart, it's very similar to the Viht.120, the IMR4198 and the reloader 7.

I seem to remember hearing about a Tubal powder having pressure spikes as pressues got high. I think it was Tu 5000, not Tu 2000, but you might want to check it out.

It apparently sees a lot of use in the NW at the 300/500/600 yard bench rest matches.
