I have used this powder in three cartridges, the .223/5.56 NATO, the 6 PPC, and the .308 Winchester. I found excellent results in the military cartridges, the 6 PPC not so much. Excellent velocity and accuracy with heavy bullets in the 5.56, and superb results with 155 Palma's in the .308. one post two post YMMV of course.  Member NRA, SCI- Life #358 28+ years now!

I use it in my .204R. A very nice powder giving me high velocity and good accuracy. Member: Orange Gunsite Family, NRA--Life, Varmint Hunters' Assn., ARTCA, and American Legion.

I loaded some 150 Nosler Accubond in my Savage FCP 308 Win. five rounds at 100 yards. Yeah, I'm impressed.  Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.
