    Can I use these powders?

    I have some powder on hand that was given to me that I am trying to use (or ultimately trade)... Right now I am looking for a load for my Marlin 336 in 35 Remington. I have #100 150 grain PSP on hand, and am waiting on an order for #200 grain Hornady Interlock RN projectiles.

    I eventually will have an AR10 (I have a stripped lower) but probably wont be reloading .308 any time soon, but I want to try and use what I have if possible.

    I have the following powders that I am having a hard time finding data for...

    1lb IMR 4350
    2lb Accurate 2520

    I have BL-C(2) and IMR 3031 which has plenty of data available, but I am trying to ration what I have of these powders for .223 reloading.

    Any help would be great.

    No good in the 35Rem. Powder is too slow.
    A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

      Considering I am not anywhere near getting my AR10 up and running, it would probably make better sense to sell / trade these powders?

        IMR 4350 is too slow for either your 35 Remington or 308. AA2520 on the other hand, will load both your 35 Remington or 308. If using AA2520 for the 35 Remington, you can get load data for the 200 grain bullet from the Accurate Arms company website
