    TR140 reloading powder

    I have a kilo of TR140 from a few years back. Whatever happened to this, was it rebranded under another name?

    I used TR140 in my 308 some years ago when it was cheaper and it worked fine. I still have almost a full tub somewhere waiting for the day N140 is more than £100/kg.

    it may take a while the last I bought was under £75kg although I did buy 3.5kg and it was part of a group buy, must admit I enjoyed the tr140 at a bit over £50kg but time moves on, a good powder though

    I did have 2kg of this last time you can use the start load for N140 on the 308, Just used the last bit up.
    I got 3.5kg of N140 for £220 from Fox firearms this was good deal
