    I picked up a couple of kilos last year from a dealer who had no idea what it was and was virtually giving it away. I had the lot!

    Mine was made by Explosia (Lovex) in the Czech Republic. Their name for it is S 060-02.

    I finally got a chance to try 2015 in my cast benchrest gun. I'm shooting a 30PPC with a 220 grain PC bullet in a 12 twist Hart. Shot my usual load/powder to make a comparison, then using the same seating depth, I shot several groups increasing powder charge as I went. The groups were all of a better, rounder pattern, and generally smaller. It was a blustery day, but it showed me enough I will be doing a more thorough load workup. I bought more of it.

    I tested some 2015 in my 6.8 with 135gr cast and in my 30-30 with 170gr cast yesterday.
    Too muddy and windy to shoot at 100yds, but at 40yds the 6.8 put 3 shots in 3/4" of an inch and the 30-30 put 3 shots in 1/2"....
    I'm encouraged. Maybe today I'll stretch them out to 100yds and see how they( or i) do.

    Accurate Powders once sold a surplus propellant under the name "Data 68", which was touted as using AA 2015 data. I used it mainly in .223 and in lesser amounts, in 7.62x39. I could find no data specifically for Data 68 in larger rounds (.308, 8x57), so I figured it was a good idea to avoid its use in them. I never got brave enough to try it, using AA 2015 data. I may have to revisit that.
