I used IMR 4198 for medium power 7.92X57 loads for an 18 inch barreled carbine.
The powder is good for shorter barrels though useable in longer barrels as well.
Its recommended for medium to medium low capacity cases, from the .22 center fires through .30-30, .303 Brit and similar size cases are about the upper limit for efficiency and loads for cases this size should be kept on the mild side.
I gave my remaining 4198 powder to a friend who had just begun reloading for a No.5 carbine. He got great results with 180 gr jacketed bullets.
