A good buddy got out of metallic loading a few years ago. Mostly just loaded 45 acp, 7/08 and 308. He sold the 45 and 308 went to his son in law. I load him 7/08's every couple years together with him.
Anyhow, he gifted me a 8# bottle and I had a partial 4# and couple 1#'s on hand. I use it in a few calibers but have no fav or special loads with it. I see its a candidate in the ARC. Its been so so in grendel.
Is anyone using it?

I’ve seen it listed but haven’t tried it. Cruising the net looking for loads it pops up pretty regularly.

I think I threw together a few loads but have not majored on it. I still have it on the shelf however.

I bot AA2520 powder when powder of any kind was difficult to find. And have been using it for plinking rounds. Just got a chrono recently so I dont have any mvs for 2520 powder yet.

2520 appears to be one of the "go fast" powders for heavier bullets in the 6ARC, and was on my list of powders to shop for. In the mean time I tried the AA2460 and WW748 that I already had. 748 looks pretty good in the Savage 110T.

OOH... I have a 4# of 748! Thats a GO TO for my 223 & 30/30 jacketed.
I did not notice loads in arc with it!
