I finally got around to testing out some of this powder. I ran some loads over the chrono a few weeks ago with the Barnes 70gr TAC-X. I will say that Hodgdon's max recommended load is VERY conservative. I was using the 69gr load as it was .7gr hotter than the 70gr bullet they list.

I was only seeing ~2,500fps from an 18" barrel with the max recommended load and no pressure signs. I am going to bump it up until I start seeing pressure signs and report back. I would be happy to be around 2,600-2,650fps with this bullet, which I feel will need to be >1.0gr over max recommended.
