It's a good powder Al, but IMHO, it's too darn slow for most of what we load mainstream. I haven't found a good match for it up to the 300s I've loaded. There are of course some things one can do to help, like crimp the living heck out of the bullets to give it a chance to get going, but that'll only buy you so much. So, the jury is still out on it from my perspective.
Though I'm not particularly into 300gr and up projectiles for what I hunt locally, I did pick up some more 300s to experiment with. I have been laid up from knee surgery and still on the road back, so I'm woefully behind on both my reloading experiments and my home projects. In the mean time, the honey-do list has grown into a monster in advance of my daughter's graduation party in late July and say what you wish, but
