Tr140

[severnsider]

There seem to have been many discussions about whether TR140 was the same/similar to N140. I do know several people who use N140 (but not N130) in both .303 and .308 quite successfully.

The first dozen posts on this thread might be of interest:

This load date for .308win. If you find a load for N140 for .303 you can use this but you must use the start load with Tr140 dont
just goto the max load. What weight bullet you using with the .303

I use TR140 for 7.62 and .303.

It is not the same as N140.

I'd email the supplier for data:
commonside@compuserve.com I think.

The lad that sold me the powder mate over at fox firearms told me you could do this, he no what he on
about. You should start with a start load anyway just to be on the safe side.

The importer of TR140 says that it's similar, but not the same. I use it to reload 2 cartridges and the loads are different to the Viht data.

As suggested above, email Nigel at the address given (it's also on the container label), he'll give you qualified data where available, and suggestions when not.

With 180gr you start at 36gr COL of 3.071, 78mm. for the 174gr its 38.4gr. Hope that some help.

For what it's worth, a well known gun plummer and F Class/Ballistics guru has just told me quite literally to load the same as an N140 load and try them side by side with my usual load.

Trust me it works he says.....Well I trust him, so might do that (the N140 load is well within limits anyway).
