I've used a little BENCHMARK in a few chamberings and it seems to be a decent little member of the powder family! HOWEVER, My Hodgdon book is before it's time and their website(powers that be) have chosen not to list any data for it!!!! I shot 23.3 grains of BENCHMARK in the 17 REM and the 20 grain Hornady VMax and although I didn't get a reading on the chrongraph...199/1000 ought to be a load to work with!! With the 6mmRem, using 40.7 grains BENCHMARK and a 70 grain Speer TNT at 3460fps, under .5 in., I'd like to see a complete listing of data for this powder! If you have any and can scan and send, I'd be in your debt! Thanks!!! GHD PS: email: charliemill@earthlink.net

Another one of those "weird" powders.. I and my fiends, haven't used it in light stuff, but get EXCELLENT results in 376 steyr, 450 marlin, 450 alaskan, and 416 taylor

Just email Hodgdon, or pick up their annual load magazine. It has a lot of data the book and the website don't have.

I am in the process of working up a load for my new 358Win with it, and Hodgon responded to my request for data in 45 minutes. HTH, Dutch.

Hey Dutch. What did they come up with? Always looking for new 358 load data

TIA,

Benchmark is made by ADI in Australia. There are actually two versions of it, known in OZ, as BM1 and BM2. Your Benchmark is BM2.

Have a look at ADI's website. It has lots of load data.

Thanks, Dutch. I sent an e-mail this AM.
