I have the opportunity to purchase an 8# jug of 3031 for a very fair price give the current market. My intentions for it are to make up plinking rounds for my 223 and 308 with it. 223 would be using 55gr FMJ bullets and 308 would be using 147gr FMJ M80 pull downs. Is this a good powder for this? What else are it's "main stream" applications. Hoping to make a decision tonight and tomorrow and possibly picking it up Wednesday. I'd hate to invest the $$$ to find out it's a dud when I could have bought less of a favorite standby (Varget). Perhaps I should just buy the Varget.
