I just found some more oddballs in the back of the reloading room: 2 jugs of Accurate Data Powder 2230C. Seems that this is essentially 2460. It seems that this is decent for .223, .22-250, 6.5mm Grendel, 7mm-08, .308, .303, and 8x57 as far as things I care about. .358 Winchester too if I ever would have gotten one like I've wanted for 30 years.

I have some of the 2230 (Not -C or -S) from 2017 sitting on the chair in front of my reloading bench/desk. Getting ready to load up some for a Savage bolt action 223 Rem I have. At least once the weather gets back up to where I feel like doing some load workup.
I have not used it before, but it seemed like a good one to try out in that 223 Rem..
I only have 2 pounds, so that should give me enough to try out some different bullets, both cast & jacketed to see how it performs for me.

I use 2230 in my 25/45 quite a bit. Shoots well providing good velocities.

I have tried in 223 never "excited" me.

i keep umm [cough] probably [uhmm] enough of the regular 2230 on hand to almost be embarrassing.

i use it in bout everything from the 25-20 up through the 357 max, and for home made bullets in the 223, and most all of my cast bullets in the 30-30 get launched by the stuff.
works in the 375 win, and if i tried real hard i'm sure i could burn some up in the 45-70.
probably the easiest ball powder i've ever worked with in ridiculous and reduced situations.
