I shoot Shooter's World Match Rifle (Lovex D073.6)which is, supposedly, AA2520. It is my go-to powder for Grendel. I shoot 123 Noslers Custom Comps for target. Sierra Pro Hunter 120's for hunting. I've been using it alot in other chamberings as well.~Riuma

PS: Started at 28 grains and worked north of 30 with both bullets.~R

Yes it is, just about all of them are.

Find the center of the node and load down a tenth or two in the summer, and load up a tenth or two in the winter.
