It's Ok! That being said,it is easy to shoot,and reload. Now the down side,it is the most inconsistant powder I have ever shot over a chronograph period. Volume to volume,compared to T7 it will never match the velocity,or consistancy of T7. It is noncrosive,but it is hydorscopic,( soaks up moisture like a sponge),so if you are in a high humidity situation,your gonna have problems.

I have tried it and did not have any luck at all. My groups were terrible not matter the bullet or load I tried. I tried it in 3 different Encore M/L's with the same bad results.
