Anyone have experience with this powder? I found an 8 pound keg of it and was just wondering if anybody had tried it out. I load for 223, 308, 30-06, 35 REM and 7.62x39. I figure if it is good for 223 and 308 it is another choice I would have when I cannot find any IMR 4895.

hi,
I didn't buy this one but I did check it at some point. This powder should behave very similar to benchmark so it is a great powder for all weather (consistent) and easy to reload.
I don't think it can beat benchmark but it should be a good powder to build a few loads. I saw some feedback in other forums where the BR folks tested and they were not getting the
advertised speeds but the spreads were pretty good. So just follow the data, build up a few loads and enjoy. However if you see benchmark grab that one that works great with
a wide range of applications. I think the extruded ones like these H4895, Varget give lots of versatility and they are pretty good with weather changes. Also R15.It is a shame when people demanding tolerance, have no tolerance

Hey Mek, how about explaining (in a separate thread?) how weather plays into powder performance?
BTW: your sister stood me up for our lunch date today....Beer is like porn, you can buy it but it's more fun to make your own
I have to bend over too far
I get a boner.
bareback every couple of days, GTG. Bareback, brokeback, same $hit!
I joined a support group to help me deal with my social anxiety but I just can't seem to work up the nerve to go to a meeting......

or in the winter for example can change by a round sitting for too long in a warm chamber. The ideal is that the differences are small but some
are substantial and that is something competitors, tactical shooters and military try to stay away from.
Whatever you have going with my sister you figure it out. She is driving me nuts!. LMAO
