Anyone with W680 experience?

[Striper Slayer]

I recently cam into a bunch of W680. Been trying to finds loads for it for anything I load. Not coming up with much. I did see that it is a great powder for the 7.62X39, but I don't load for that. It did get me thinking though that maybe it would be a good powder for the 6mm Fat Rat. Similar case volume and all. Anyone got any experience with this? Or an opinion if it would work or be worth the time to work up a load? Any idea where to start with it?
Thanks for all the help!

You might cruise the Hogdon reloading site or reloading manual. I didn't look it up but sounds like it is in there with R7 and such. Slower than 2400, maybe more like Lil' Gun.

Yes, W680 is the precursor to AA1680. Same poopie. Use AA1680 data.
