Anyone tried IMR 4166?

[ironworkerwill]

I see it's widely available. Could it be because it's too new? Has anyone got around to using it yet?

FISHALASKA, do you mind my asking what you're using it in?? I'm trying to decide if it's worth trying in a Garand.

What powders is it in between on the IMR burn rate list?

According to Hodgdon:
#90 - IMR4895
#94 - IMR4166
#95 - IMR4064

So, it's well within the safe burn rate range but as far as "worth trying" in the M1, who knows if it will be accurate until you try?

PV only has 1lb cans left now.

It looks like I won't get to try any until the spring.
