...after my very limited testing with W748 on the Nosler 105RDF's, I was surprised at the positive results obtained when comparing the LVR results for the same bullet, especially when considering having used approximately 2 grains less in charge weight. IF I had more 748 I would take another look at that as I like 748 as it allows me to use it across the multiple calibers I load for, the same reason I use 8208XBR and AR-Comp.
...early Hornady data did not include 748 in their load data, Hodgdon's recent online load center does and it's listed right along with all LVR datasets, albeit giving a slight lower FPS. After my recent first experiences with LVR and how "dirty" it is, I'm somewhat thinking I may have jumped the gun on acquiring 9 lbs. of it....but it was available when everything else wasn't so it is what it is. <shrug>
...as 6ARC gains in popularity I suspect we will see more powder options available as companies test it more. The 6ARC may have had it's beginnings in a DoD initiative, but it's potential in the sporting and hunting arenas is becoming more apparent....fortunately.
