Picked up a pound of this powder to use in 223 with 55 an 62 grain bullets. It was pricey.  Loaded a few 55's with 25 grains, filled the case up into the neck. Does anyone have any experience with this powder or comments? Looks like it is close to 4320 which I use now.

In for comments. I got 8lbs cause I needed something for 308 but then I found some XBR so its been collecting dust. Hodgdon has data for 8mm mauser. I was going to try it there since I need load development on that "new" round (to me).

It's basically a 4064 clone with some copper fouling eraser stuff mixed in...

I won't be trying it due to the price.

Since it looks like I will never get my backordered Varget from Mid South, I am thinking about trying some of this.

Hang in there, I just notice of a backorder filled today. It wasn't Varget, but I still waited a good while for it

I have two jugs of backorder Varget from Brownell's... From Jan 2013. I have given up on Varget. Plenty of other powders. Not sure 4166 is the replacement though.

That's why I've always avoided Varget, availability has never been great.

I've gone to 8208, but I do have others as well.  This backorder was from May of last year so I haven't been waiting as long

I was looking forward to these new Powders until I saw the price

I'm still at a loss to the environmentally friendly angle they keep trying to pitch with these new powders.

Probably trying to get states to mandate it much like the lead free bullets
