You can go to Hodgdon's website and enter the cartridge of your choice and see if they list it.

I just looked and many small and midsized cartridges are listed:
204 Ruger, 22 PPC, (no mention of the 22 BR), .223 Rem, 22-250, 6 PPC, 6mm BR, 6mm Dasher 6mm Creedmoor , 243 win, 6mm Rem, 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 Creedmoor, 257 Roberts, 260 Rem, 270 Win, 7-08, 7 x 57, 284 win, .308 Win, 30-06, 8mm mauser, 338-06, 338 Federal, 338 RCM, 35 Remington, (surprisingly not the 358 Win) 35 Whelen, 444 Marlin to name a few.

The 257 Weatherby is not on their list as the case is far too large.

I am running it in my 22-250 with a 62 Grain Barnes TTSX. 32.2 grains running at 3367 fps. I was able to push it faster but the gun settled on a slower charge from grouping.

I have used it in 308 with 168gr pills, 223 with 75 gr pills, and 30-30 with 170gr pills. It's works good In all 3 and is my main powder In 308 for plinkers with 168gr bthp from my semi rifles.
