A local gun shop has 4 lbs of this powder and I can buy it at a really good price. I cant seem to find much data on it. What cartridges or calibers did this work good in? Is there a powder now that the data would be the same or real close? Thanks, h.h.

According to the 2006 Vihtavuori reloading guide, it's a quite slow powder, slightly slower than the IMR4350 and the Reloader 19 and slightly faster than the IMR4831 and the Norma MRP, for instance.

Let's see, off the top of my head...

6mm-284, .240 Weatherby, .243 Winchester, 6mm Remington, .257 Weatherby, .25-06 Remington, .257 Roberts, .260 Remington, 6.5-284 Winchester, .264 Winchester Mag., 6.5-06 Springfield, 6.5-300 Weatherby, .270 Winchester SM, .270 Winchester, .270 Weatherby, 7x57mm Mauser, .280 Remington, 7mm Dakota, .284 Winchester, 7mm Remington Mag., 7mm S.T. Westerner, 7mm Weatherby, .308 Norma Magnum, .300 Remington UM, .300 Dakota, .30-378 Weatherby, .300 H&H Magnum, .300 Weatherby, .300 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, 8mm Remington Mag., .330 Dakota, .338 Winchester, .338-378 Weatherby, .340 Weatherby, .338 Lapua Magnum, .358 S.T. Alaskan, .378 Weatherby, and .416 Rigby.

Maybe you should just buy the stuff and send it to me?

Reduce your starting loads to about 10% lower than the max and build back up to see what works best in your intended cart.

Good Luck

My 270 loves the stuff.
