I have not seen any load data for H380. Has anyone tried it?

snort: It is a bit slow for the 204 case, being much futher down on the burning rate chart than Varget, which is usually considered about the slowest burning powder for use in the 204R. It's best use is in the 22-250 and cases with similar volume.
