I got some from Natchez over a year ago and have found it to give good velocity and accuracy with 50 to 55gr bullets in both 12 inch and 26 inch T/C barrels----just used load data for 2230 and have had no problems. Have used it with 125gr bullets in .30-30 Marlin 336-- also with good results. pg

I've been fooling around with it, this spring, and it works really well with the 69 MK Sierra, and I finally found a load I could live with with the 53 Sierras, too. Try the 24.5 grain load listed on the jug for the heavy bullets, and try 25.5 grains for the 55s and under, that will give you a start. I use WSR primers and some once fired (free to me) Federal cases. Going much hotter in those cases opened up the primer pockets for me, but it's okay using this milder load. Haven't had time to chrono them yet, but they shoot well at 200 yards, so they should do well for most everyday shooting. Natchez has excellent prices on those two Sierra bullets in the 500 count boxes, too!
