I received a new Alliant Manual today. I noticed this new powder showed even higher vel. than RL17 with 165 & 180gr. 308 loads & very good in 300WM as well. Anyone tried it?

If these powders keep on coming magnums could be a thing of the past. :wink:
When you consider bullet improvements including higher ballsitic coefficients, and improved terminal performance, and then look at the newer powders adding a 100+ fps to cartridges compared to the powders used 20 years ago we have far better performance from the same cartridges today.
Todays 308 is equal to or ahead of the 06 from 20 years ago and the 06 runs right with the 300 Win Mag of 20 years ago.
