Any users? dryflash's experiences have been posted previously, anyone else got input?

I didn't have any luck with it in 223, but it is phenomenal in 3 different 6.5 Grendel's I load for.

I used it for 168 and 178 AMAX with excellent results in my 308 gas gun. It's a real pain in the ass to work with because it won't meter properly in powder measures and attempting to do so will result in the chopping of kernels, which are problematic in their own right. Pick up a set of Lee dipper spoons for best results.

Interested in accuracy work for the 223.

For me, not near as good as IMR-8208 XBR or CFE 223.


Could just be my barrel doesn't like it, others report good results.


The one way you will find out for sure is try some loads in your rifle.

I haven't used it in 223 because I have other powders that I really like that are temp stable (XBR and CFE).

now in 308, that is another story.  I have multiple sub-moa loads using 168 and 175 SMK's.  

using a hornady PM, it meters ok (consistency is what really matters with the PM).  it is more sensitive to changes in how fast you move the PM that a lot of other powders due to shape

I could never find a load in .223 pushing 55-60gr bullets that my rifles liked. Gave up and moved on.
