  1. UK available propellant for cast bullet rifle calibre reloading

    Hi All, thanks for all the replies lots of helpful people here. :) However I should have been more specific as to what I’m after. I have been reloading for 25 years, after much trial and error I ended up using mainly 4895 for jacketed and 4198 for cast. Since REACH has banned these I need to...
  2. UK available propellant for cast bullet rifle calibre reloading

    Its not just burn rates, composition, shape and density of powders make a huge difference, V110 and N110 have very similar burn rates but behave differntly. I'm not saying it would not work but I'd like to see some data first

    Lyman cast bullet handbook gives 10gn red dot for starting load for 150, 200 and 210gn with max load or 13.5, 13 and 12.5. I can't find any data for RS12 but its a very fast powder, would not think its suitable.

    Do you shoot at distance - 300 to 600 using 2400? It looks more like for low velocity shorter range.
  5. UK available propellant for cast bullet rifle calibre reloading

    Reloader 7 looks close to what I'm after, will do some more research into it, also looks like its in stock which is a plus. Thanks.
  6. UK available propellant for cast bullet rifle calibre reloading

    I have a bunch of manuals but I was trying to avoid red dot, unique and other pistol powders which use a few grains of powder in a large case - previously I have used powders for cast bullets which allow me to more than half fill the case - 24-28gn approx. Also these powders give velocities...
  7. UK available propellant for cast bullet rifle calibre reloading

    After doing some research on N110 looks like 13-16gns, so small amount of powder in a large case which I was trying to avoid as I don't want to have to single load to make sure powder is sitting over the primer. Looks like all the fast but bulky powders which would better fill the case are now...
  8. UK available propellant for cast bullet rifle calibre reloading

    Thanks for the info, it was probably IMR4227 or 4198 he was using, N110 and 120 look like similar speeds to these two respectively on the burn rate chart.
  9. UK available propellant for cast bullet rifle calibre reloading

    I am looking to reload for 303 British with cast bullets - 165gn gas checked. All the reloading information I can find is for propellants which are unavailable now due to REACH regulations. Can anyone recommend a propellant that’s available which is good for cast loading. Please note I'm not...
  10. Hello

    I used to be a member of the forum but lost my details a while ago and I no longer stalk (stopped about 10 years ago). I do however still target shoot and there’s a lot of useful information here so decided to rejoin. I'm based in Sussex, mainly shoot at Bisley since local clubs closed down...
