Any experience out there with this powder in 35 rem or 30-30. Only negative appears to be amount used per round vs say 4064 etals. Certain powders becoming harder to find>

Re: Hodgdon LVR powder
I have done a lot of reloading for 30-30's with Lvr. In both of my rifles it gives me great accuracy and velocity with 130-170grn loads. The thing I have found that if the loads are not max or near max accuracy suffers. With the lighter pills where the case is full I use magnum rifle powders.

Re: Hodgdon LVR powder
I have used it a little in the 30-30 loads, but I use a it and CFE223 exclusively in the 308 MX.
Great accuracy
Probably like 4 lbs of it here.
