It's the most accurate and highest velocity powder I've found for my 22 Hornet.  Don't remember the charge right now and I'm away from my notes but 8 lbs. would last longer than I will.

It seems to want more pressure than plain base shooting needs.  25k psi and up.  I wonder at it, because it as allegedly developed for the .410 shotgun shell.  But there it is.  I have never tried it in the bigger Schuetzen type cartridges, however.  Only in my .25-21 and .25-20.  It did not match or even approach the accuracy I get with AA#9.   

But it does wonders for full power loads in my Hornet, too.  And it has been my best accuracy load in the .357 Maximum, in a 10" Contender barrel, 180 grain JHP. Quickload says the nominal pressure for that load is 38,000 psi.
