Has anybody done any loading with this new Alliant powder. I has a burn rate right in there with Varget and Rel15 neither of which I can find right now.

So I picked some of this stuff up. It's a real fine powder and flows well through my Lee Auto Disc. I loaded up 10 rounds of 22-250 and 55g Vmax bullets at 34.5g which is .2g under Alliant published data from their web site.

Maybe I can get to the range Tuesday morning and see how it shoots.
 
Alliant's data is a MAX load. They expect you to reduce by 10% for a starting charge as indicated on their website. So for a MAX load of 34.7gr, you should be starting at about 31.2gr or so. I wouldn't pull down the ammo that you have loaded but I wouldn't shoot them until working up to it. Just my opinion.
 
I have loaded some loads of 36.5g Rel 15 and 55g Vmax running at 3700fps and would like to get that performance out of this new powder.
