Any one loading it? I tried 43.0 and 43.3 with Berger 155 match bullets and HORNADAY match brass. Not real impressed so far. It seems the old standby of IMR4895 is still on top in my rifle.

Was that the optimal node on your ladder? 43.0 or 43.3? I've had excellent performance. Its not sensitive to temperature either. Meters well too. I haven't tried it with a bullet that light, but I've had excellent results in the 41~42gr range pending bullet, with 175's, 178's, and 185's. Also started using it in my 223rem at 23.2gr behind 77gr matchkings and scenars.
I did a quick and dirty two load try with the 155's.
Next I'll step up the 168 SMK and see if results are better. I like the temperature stability claims. I shoot year round, unless its raining like it was that day [:I]
NOT lol
