    I use it in a 260 improved. Goes better than all the other recommended powders I have tried in my barrel behind several different projectiles.

    Yep I use H414 (which is the same powder) in 260 rem, as r93 says it goes really well, I've only used 120 to 130gr bullets tho.

    No, but I'd like to give it a burn in my 6.5 Creedmoor. Will do so with a variety of bullets in the next couple of weeks and check it for accuracy and also velocity with the Labradar .

    @10-Ring I'll look forward to your results. i hope they are good. it could be a good alternative to 2209 should that go scarce again.
