Alliant "varmint" powder
Has anyone gotten there hands on any yet and if so---how are the results? Last I checked was at Scheels in St. Cloud late in November and nothing on the shelves yet. I just sent for alliants new powder data looking for some results. Advertising to duplicate factory loads otherwise unobtainable---Got a feeling they are talking the 204R Hornady loads. I'm ashamed to print this in public however the best group printed from my(stock) 700 vss in 204 came out of a box of Hornady factory ammo .305. I've used their brass, same bullets and 4 types of powder and my best combo came out at .430. My first humbling experience of not being able to trump a factory load in either velocity or accuracy. Really hoping this powder will vindicate me of this experience!!!

Hopefully this is an inert powder like the 8208XBR. Adam

Inert? I hope not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inert I take it you meant extreme like Varget etc. with reduced temperature sensitivity.
