Apparently it’s an odd size (poor results?) on the light end of the spectrum. Hey, it was free to me. I have bullseye, 231, unique, BR-5, and titegroup on the shelf. It’s going to be used in a Beretta 96.
Thanks for your response,

Stronger, Prouder and Greater!
My little Kahr likes it with 6.5 gr Power Pistol. I shoot it as it's easy to tell apart from the 175's as it gets sized .401 vs .402.

What would be wrong with using data for a 155 gr jacketed and being careful as you work up?
231 @ 6.5 is stout, 6 is OK. 100 fps diff per GRT.
