    Rex 1 powder for cast in 30-06, anyone have good data?

    I was gifted a can of Rex 1, in searching, I have found load data for it in shotgun (what it was intended for). Also data for handgun.

    Only rifle reference is it's "similar" to Red Dot, I was hoping to find someone that had actually used it in 30-06. If got a bunch of 311284's and RCBS 180's on the bench along with 250 30-06 cases that have been sized, deprived/reprimed and belled waiting to be stuffed.

    All I need is valid data and I (hopefully) work at killing of one of the to many orphan cans of powder I've acquired.

    Or go back to one of the old standby's--2400, Blue Dot, 4759, 700x and try to NOT blow myself up.

    Anybody ever use it in rifle calibers with cast boolits?

    I'll drag this back to the top of the pile one more time before I let it slide off into oblivion...

    Anybody using REX 1 for cast in rifles? Loaded all the 30-06 I had on the bench with Blue Dot when I first posted this question. Still would be interested if anybody has used it in anything cast in any RIFLE, for the next time this jug of powder makes it to the front of the powder box.
