 NO! 5020 is a ball powder that is slower burning than the 5010, which I have never found a real good use for also..  roger

| Didnt know the 5020 existed. I have used the 5010 in the 30-378 and would expect your powder might work there and possibly some stw stuff if near the 5010 burn rate.
I did try the 5010 in my 300 wby. If I remember a full case generated sub 30-06 velocity and a really dirty empty case. |

Has anybody done any good with 5020 powder other than in a 50 BMG? Duplex load info not wanted.
