        Yup, it works. Burn rate is good IMO for the Grendel being between 8208 and CFE223, velocities have been good but ES not quite where I like them so far. It is a fairly bulky powder so it does fill the case and vibrating the cases helps settle the powder. Max load for my rifles there is a little crunch on the compressed load.

        After hunting season I will go back and revisit it.

          IMR 4166 in the Grendel

          Gave the 4166 a try the other day in a bolt action 24 inch Lothar Walther barrel. I was not satisfied with load density as I was compressing loads way to soon and accuracy and velocity was a dissapointment as well.
