I use this powder to reload .223's for my grandson. He goes through a lot of shells and I'm only to happy to provide them. One thing I really like about this powder is how easy it meters and flows.

I use it with 150( gr) bullet in 30/30 at a 100 yds an tire a 6'' steel target up at 140 to 150 yds so yes I think it works great for my 30/30 marlin leveraction.

One of the first powders I bought 15 yrs ago for loading for .308, 30-06 (Garand loads) and 8mm Mauser. Now I am loading for .223/5.56. 24 grains and either a 55 or 62 g soft point is a great load that wont burn your barrel out. Very consistent. Hope Midway has some more soon. Good pricing and fast delivery.

I got this specifically because "everyone" on the Internet recommends this for .223 tracer rounds. Sure enough, it works great for that. All my "pulled", surplus tracers lit off with this powder. It is a small, dense "ball" powder, so you can pack a lot of grains into a case and still have room for long bullets (like the .223 tracers). I can easily fit about 5 grains more of this into my .223 cases than my regular IMR 4895. And it meters so much better than any stick powder. I may end up using this for all my .223 rounds.

This performs as expected in my 55gr loads. It provides great accuracy, smokin hot velocity and what I consider to be acceptable SD out of my 16" 1-8 twist 5.56 barrel. It totally surprised me with 77gr Sierra matchking though. I figured it has the wrong burn rate for a heavy round. Long story short lymans max listed charge with the 77gr matchking shoots AMAZING!!! Velocity wasn't even as low as I expected coming in at 2500 and some change. Accuracy though..... WOW. All holes touching at 100yds. So accurate in fact I thought I got lucky and had to shoot two more groups to be sure.
