Great powder for high pressure loads like 357sig, 40, 10mm. Probablely works for other magnums as well, just haven't tried it.

I found it works well for most 44 mag loads I have tryed it in

But aproach top end slowly
I found top end in my Ruger RH ( 240 gr Nos HP ) to be almost 2 gr less than listed and I was getting just less than listed velosity
Before extraction got sticky and the primers were flat

But that was my pistol

I have settled on Longshot as my powder for the 10mm. In my EAA Elite Match it is very accurate with max. loads and 200gr. JFP's.
