    When I loaded the CSB-1 I picked up, I felt that it was a bit faster than Universal and was closer to International. As with all of these non canister powders, it's best to always back down 10% and...

    I remember using it for light to medium bullet weights in the 300 Win Mag (150-165gr). I still have about a pound of it but it's mostly sitting due to my no longer having anything that large anymore.

    Interesting. The common thing I hear around my club is that they like N310 with 45 acp and N320 for 9mm and 40 S&W. N340 is usually used for the higher velocity stuff as I mentioned above.
