I don’t recall the charges I ended up with when I developed a load with that powder, but I do remember getting some great accuracy and consistency with moderate velocity. That being said, I’ve found accurate and consistent loads with a wide variety of powders for the CM. Varget, RL16, H4350 of course, Hybrid 100, RL26, 6.5 StaBall, and probably several others I’m not thinking of. Its a very forgiving cartridge to load for. I fear no powder shortage with that one. For the 4831 and RL26 I tend to use the larger capacity brass like Hornady instead of the Lapua I typically use to squeeze a little more in. I found better results with moth of those with magnum primers as well. One thing that is nice is you cant get enough of either in the case to get over pressure from my experience. My hunting load uses the RL26 with a 134gr mono at just a touch under 2900. I don’t recall the charge offhand, but I have to vibrate each case with an electric tooth brush to settle powder before I seat bullets. Its a Lazer though, and the 50 I made after development will last a lot of years.
