Accurate 2015 is a slender short cut extruded powder that meters very nicely . It is slightly faster burning than 3031 and slower than 4198. The rifle was a stock Stevens Mod 200 22-250. RP cases, wlrm primers. 32.5 2015,
50 grain TNT Speer, 0al= 2.471", 3407 to 34 91 FPS., 4 shot 1/4" group at 50 yds.
50 grain TNT Speer, oal= 2.474", 3301 to 3446 FPS. 3 shot 1/8" group @ 50 yds., 7 shot 1/4" group @ 50 yds.
55 grain VNM MS. oal=2.442", 3333 to 3405 FPS., 7 shot 1/2" group & 12 shot 2/3" group @ 50yds. I ran this test cause I bought a whole bunch of 2015 when it was selling for $68.00/ 8 pounds. Hope many of you did the same. It is also great in the .223 , .222 ,250 -3000, and a number of small capacity wild cats similar in size to the 30-30. roger
Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..
