Seems it's just being introduced, my Handloader magazine came yesterday and it's on the front cover as being introduced so maybe it hasn't had a chance to get to distributors yet. That article says it's made in Sweden

Haven't seen it locally, not that that's much of a surprise. Both Powder Valley and Midsouth are showing it available though.

Been working with this powder in my 243AI. I have to say I'm impressed. Very much like 4350 but higher velocities with lower pressures. Same results in my son's Creedmoor but 4350 just barely edged it out in group size in the creedmoor. In my AI it edged out 8208 for accuracy but not by much

4570inMD has been using it in his 7mm-08. I have seen it on the shelves here in the Cumberland area.

Cleaned the rifle last night after about 40 rounds. It cleaned up very easy and hardly even a slight trace of copper. 2 patches of BT C4 carbon remover followed by 10 brush strokes, followed by 2 patches with the last clean as a pin. 2 patches of BT CU2 to check for copper, 2 patches to clean and dry. I like this powder

I just went through a pound of it in my Swiss rifles. 47-48gr behind a 168gr bullet produced VERY nice groups. I'm buying more.

Glad to hear it works for you. I'm going to try some Reloder 23 in my 280 AI. It is similar but slower. Supposed to give higher velocities at lower pressures. My 280 likes slower powders and I hope it likes this one. Ran it in Quickload and it looks promising

I have been using RL-19 in my .280. Mine is not AI but it is a very accurate load. 53 grains RL-19 under a 140 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip.

I'm using Reloder 7 in a new 17 Fireball and it and Accurate 2015 shot the best of all tested. Reloder 7 shot one hole group.
