    HI All.

    I've reloaded all those calibre except the 303 with Reloader15, it worked fine but I never really shot enough of it to get a good feel for it in the larger cartridges. As it became harder to get I keep RL15 just for the .223 and use a Hodgdon powder for the bigger cased cartridges, purely as it was available and seems to work just as well.
    If you want the loads I used I can dig them out for you. The only one I can remember off the top of my head is the 308 which was 45.6gn with a 155 FMJ bullet. The others were of a similar laod except the 30-30 which was quite a bit lighter so I loaded it on a different press.

    I've done RL15 in 308 and 303 without problems. I'm not sure that Viht N140 isn't a better target powder, though.
