Anyone Tried Accurate 2015 In A 32 Miller Short?

I have looked at load data for this powder and think it might hold some possibilities in a case like the .32 Miller Short.  I am planning on using it with plain base cast bullets (202 grains) in Cast Bullet Association benchrest matches.  I can not find it locally so ordering a pound for trials would entail a hazmat fee in addition to the price of the powder.  Any suggestions?

I use 4100 or Enforcer (same powder) in my 32 miller short.

I highly doubt you will get the most out of a 32 Miller using 2015

H-108 and WC-820 has worked extremely well in all my 32 Millers.

Might I suggest either WW 296 or Accurate 300 mp as a better alternative to 2015.

Has anyone used AA #9 in the 32 Miller Short?

The older Accurate No 9 was acceptable. The stuff they sell now will work but not nearly as accurate. Thru the years Accurate has contracted out the manufacture of No 9 in and out of the USA.

My best luck in my Miller, 25 Hornet, and several 32-40s is 300MP with Remington standard primers or 4100 with CCI or Winchester standard primers.

Seems to me that Hodgdon's Lil Gun may be a good one to try
in the 32 Miller short. 
I have found that Lil Gun works best in the similar case capacity
300 BlackOut.  It is just slighly slower burning than 296/H110

AA #9, H108, WC820, AA 4100 or MP 300 are excellent powders for either the .32 Miller or .32 RKS.

The quality of AA #9:

Australia - Excellent AA #9C (commercial)
Israel - Really Good
USA - Fairly Good

Differences were in variations in grain size.
Australian and Belgian powders are of better quality.
USA powder had occasional larger lumpy grains mixed in - but it still shot well - or did they sell their poorer quality powder to us Canadians?

Charlie Dell did parallel development of his 32/357 as Kyle Miller did his experimentation.  His all time favorite powder was an early run (Czech?) of Accuarate #7.  As his source of supply for that was exhausted, he went to H108 with about equal success for the rest of his life.  As H108 got harder to find, some of us discovered that the Accurate #9 of the day (the early two thousand oughts) became the next replacement.  How does the current lot of 2015 compare to these?
BTW, Dale 53 and IIRC Jim Borton were sieving WC820 (which was said to be identical(?) to H108) and getting great results.  We all know how Jim was shooting.  Dale’s last batch is now being shot by yet another shooter whose name I’ll withhold to protect the innocent... but I’ve seen him post a 250-10X with it!

When H108 was no longer available Chris Hogdgon advised me H108 was repackaged surplus WC820. 
So these powders were not similar - they were identical.
