New Hogden powder?

[pepperbelly]

While looking for a powder suitable for .308 Win, and that someone would have in stock, I ran across a new powder from Hogden. It's Hybrid 100V. I am having a hard time finding load data for it, so I don't even know if it is good in the .308. They claim higher velocity at lower pressure.
Has anyone used this powder yet? If so, is it accurate?
Is it appropriate for .308 or is it just barely useful?
I found some RL15 and have a pound of Varget, H4895, H4350 and H335. I also have some RL22 but I haven't seen anyone using that for .308. I bought it for my 6.5x55.
The Hybrid is available, and that alone makes me hope it will work. If not I will try some of the powders I have to see what my rifle likes.
Right now I have some Sierra 168gr MKHP bullets as well as some Sierra 155gr Palma bullets. I have some Noslers coming in a trade soon.

Thanks,
Jim

i don't much believe it is suitable for a .308 win, too slow, I have used it in my 300 win mag, but not my .308.

I was afriad of that. When I saw they list it for .270 I wondered.

It seems to be applied more to larger case volumes/heavier projectiles.... 30-06 ,300 WM, 300WSM...
( I have no personal experience with it)

Hybrid was desgined to be used wherever you use H4350 type burn rates. Not the best for .308
