Because of the writers strike this may be a rerun.

If any of you out there uses DP85 what kind of results are you getting?

So far a number of us are getting really good performance. Would like to hear the pros and cons. roger

Roger my shooting buddie and I just got a jug of it and I have tried it in a 22/250,25/06 and a 270.The best groups I got was with the 22/250 but the others were small groups also at 100 yds haven't tried any farther distance yet.
In my savage mod 12 I used 41 and 41.5 grs witha 53 gr hornady match this past week and I just loaded up 3 rounds each,the 41.0 went .216 and the 41.5 went .341.I did try 42 grs but it went .784 and the speed went down so figured the 41.5 was max load.
In the 270 useing a sst 130 gr,I tried 56.5 grs to 60 grs accordding to my chrony the 59.5 gr was max load,useing a 115 hornady BTHP I went 57.5 grs to 58.5 grs This powder is pretty consistant=== 57.5 = 3112---32/17
58.0= 3153 fps---31/22
58.5=3220 ----35/17
these was with a rem 700 24in barrel,think I can go a little more with these 115 gr??
Best group with the 25/06 was 55.3 grs and 100 gr hornady SP blemished at 3241 fps 13.7/7.9 was useing a tikka 23 in barrel.
Did try some in a 243 useing a hornady blemished 85 gr bonded bullet but they wouldn't shoot with any powder or speed I tried.
So far I like the powder and especially the price and have all year ahead to try different loads and calibers with it.
Have you used any with the 223? I am wanting to try it next.If you have what spec do you use.the jug says to use the same as HUNTER but the loading data I have doesn't have any loads with hunter in 223 cal??
And thanks on your tip about the DP85.

In the .223 I've used it with 27.2gr. behind the 70gr. and 80gr. VLD bullets. The 70gr was geat but the 80gr. was so-so at best. roger

Thanks I have allready loaded up more of the 52 and 53's to try again in the 22/250.I have some 75 BTHP hor and 80 gr a-max will give them a try too in the 223 savage.
