Just got done working with this newer powder. Varget gave me decent velocity but so-so accuracy. R15 was better in accuracy but not velocity. This powder sounded good by previous users so I gave it a go. The gun is a stock LTR/20" barrelled 308. Using once fired Win brass (not my gun) Fed 210M, 175 SMK with a oal of 2.285 (longest I can get in mag). All shot at 200 yds off bipod and rear bag from seated bench.
46.5: ave vel 2524, SD 23, ES 34, .58 moa.
47: ave vel 2556, SD 8, ES 20, .57 moa.
47.5: ave vel 2590, SD 8, ES 16, .79 moa.
48: ave vel 2622, SD 11, ES 31, . 37 moa.
No signs of pressure with any load. The 48 gr load had one round that seemed "warm", clocking over 30 fps higher. Could be a powder load error on my part. Throwing that one out, the SD and ES would be 6 and 14 respectively.
Overall I am liking this powder, as it seems are others. Its definitely the best of the three I have tested so I am going to stick with it.
