How many of you use Data 2200 and what for?

I bought a bunch to use for bulk 223 loading. I also use it for fireforming various stuff. I have so much, I'm looking for other uses. Give me some ideas, please.

I love 2200!! Still got about 12 pounds myself!! It is slightly slower than 1680 and faster than 2015.

It's on the slow end for the .22 Hornet but would work well in the .17 Ackley Hornet. Also great in the .222 and .223 with lighter 40-45gr bullets.

I use it in the 6T/CU for forming brass with 100gr bullets. But it works better with the light 60gr and 65gr bullets. 6.5T/CU is ok with 2200. It is the only powder I use in the 7T/CU with 100 and 120gr bullets.

My Super 14 30-30 shoots well with 130gr Hornady bullets and 2200. Also use it for forming 7-30 Waters and 30-30 AI brass. The burn rate is right for the .30 Herrett and .357 Herrett though I have never tried it...would not take much to work up good data though.

After getting bigger than the .30-30 case and smaller than a .308" bore it gets too fast for any application.

When bores get bigger it starts to work again...357 Max, .375 Win and possibly the 45-70.

I have used it in the past in the 222,223.The local shop where I bought it has since closed.If you have too much I might buy a pound.

6BR and .250 Savage?? 2200 seems awfully fast with those...but if you are shooting really light bullets it should be fine.
