Anyone played with this? On paper it looks promising for 6.5 Grendel as well as 223. Any ideas about accuracy and temp stability?
 
Temp stability is not really a thing with ball powders. The premier stable ball powder is stabil 6.5 and every test shows its far more sensitive than almost every extruded powder. The form factor seems to be more difficult to manage. They continue to work on the technology and maybe the new winchester powders will be better. Someone will pick up the mantle of testing that but not me.
 
Match Rifle is made by Lovex in Europe.
My sources suggest it’s the same thing as Accurate 2520.

I’ve only loaded it in .308win and .308MarlinExpress. Both with 150gr bullets.
Velocities tracked exactly with that predicted for #2520.
Accuracy is “OK”. Not the best in either of the rifles. But, it goes bang and prices were great when I bought it.
I also got some Precision Rifle. I actually prefer it.
Tactical Rifle also. Haven’t even broken the Seal. (8 pounders!).

With the little I’ve shot my Grendel, I prefer H335. My lot # of IMR-8208 is “hotter” than what Hodgdons or others have reported. It maxes out ~2gr sooner and 100fps slower than most published data.
