I see that 3031 is near the top of the list in loading
manuals..
As anyone on here tried it?
If so how did it perform for you?
Thank you very much for any information you have to share..

I've used it with the Sierra 60g HP. Very accurate through the whole powder charge range. I would have to check to be sure but I think I used Fed 210 primers in Win. brass. Rifle was a 12FVSS with 26" 1:12 twist barrel.

After 1,000+ rounds, the throat wore enough on me that my normal load of H4895 and the 52g SMK fell off in accuracy. The longer 60g HP allowed me to reach the lands and kept the rifle shooting very well....actually, many 5 shot groups in the low .2" range.

use a lot in the swift. It is temp sensitive. My 2 loads will flip with the weather. One will be 1" and the other 1/2". just a matter of which one and which day.
