Does anyone have any experience good or bad using this powder for .358 Win with a 225 Grain bullet?

Best regards,

Like I PM'd you I am using Varget, and the cases are really full. With RL15 being a touch slower I would suspect you might have trouble getting enough of it into the case to develope decent velocities. But that's just an educated guess, even the Varget is a tad on the slow side, 4895 is about optimal, but I already had Varget so thats how I got to where I am.
 
I'm currently shooting RL-15 for my Whelen and thought maybe I could standardize on a common powder. It makes sense to me that the RL-15 might be too slow. Alliant recommends RL-7 for both the 200 and 250 grain bullets but nothing for 225s. Maybe I'll pick up some Varget and give it a try.
