    I've shot it in .45acp, worked fine but eventually found it was easier to just keep using the powder measure I have setup for Red Dot.

    I loaded 100 rounds with it, had no issues at all. Still have most of a pound.
    There is data out there for it, just have to do some work to find some of them.

    You could probably use a small charge under a piece of 00 buck sized down to 310 in 30-30 or 30-06

    yes there isn't much info out there on this titewad powder, at first I thought my google foo had gotten the whuflu. But I'm certain there's gotta be others who had success with this powder. All inputs are appreciated.

    Can't speak as to the calibers that you listed. I've used it in .45 Colt and .38 special with good results.

    2.6 grains shot well in 38 spl wadcutter loads. 4.4 grains was a nice. 44 spl load with a Lee 200 grain Boolit.

    I have used titewad like Bullseye in 3006 lite loads. I used 3.0 grains of it under a cast 113 grain soup can load .
    also under the 90 grain cast LEE T L SWC.
    It's a really fast shotgun powder.
    You never know if there will be pressure spikes using more than 3 grains so I'm happy with the lite loads.
    May try a lite load in .32 acp afterwhile.
    Reportedly it works in .38 special and ..45 acp.

    I found it to be about 10% faster than bullseye, by weight.

    It is my favorite powder for .45. 4 grains and 200grn bullet is a sweet shooter.

    I stopped using it due to the metering issues I was having progressive loading.
