I tried this out during the powder shortage because it was available. It turned out to do a great job with Berry's 240 gr. flat point. I load 11.5 grains for a little over 1200 FPS, but Hodgdon's site lists a starting load of 10.2 gr. with a 240 grain and list the velocity as 1164 FPS from an 8 3/8" barrel. This powder meters extremely well and is always in stock where I buy. The burn rate is very close to HS-6, which was my previous favorite for midrange loads, but seems to be more available where I live (North Idaho).
