I acquired about 3/4 of a can of this in a swap. It smells good to me-a little vinegary. Too slow for 308 or 223 per Accurate who confirms 1996 manufacture date. I'd hate to consign it to fertilizer duty if there is someone who can make a face to face swap in Western NY.
Anybody got a jones for XMR 3100

Successor to Accurate MRP which IIRC is right around 4831 burn rate in case you are wondering.

it is close to 4831 it works better with a little compression though.
I'd just burn it up in my 30-30 if I had it.

wouldn't hurt it any to give a couple a try.
fill the case to where the boolit compresses the powder a little and give it a go.
the worse that could happen is low velocity and poor burn characteristics.
the best is you get 18-1900 fps, a clean burn, and a fairly quiet load.
that's what I get from my 30-30 with 4831.
