Has any one used Data 2200 for the Grendel? I see it was good with 7.62X39, I cant find any thing on it at AA reloading site. I ask because I was given 8lbs of it.

Pay particular attention to the 100gr Nosler BT data.
Max of 27.3gr, velocity 2673fps, at 51,692psi
Now look at my previous post using QL generated data with 100gr Noslert BT and 2200.
Max of 26.46gr, velocity 2643fps, at 50,158psi

Really? .84 gr difference in Max powder charge and a pressure difference of 1,534psi! Actual Pressure Tested data from one manual to the next can't even get that close. Yeah Quickload nailed it again, pure and simple, you just have to take the time to read the data posted.

I assume you are an experienced handloader and know what "lot-to-lot" variations are, yes? Good! Now please tell us what Ramshot-Accurate-Western powders considers acceptable lot to lot variations as a percentage with there powders? When you are done searching for this info then you can do some simple math, and determine if QL data is within Western powders acceptable "lot-to-lot" variation or if it is way off as you seem to think.
A hint, Western lot-to-lot variations is less than 4% and larger than 2%. Good luck and use a calculator, it make this new math a bit easier.
