Anyone else using TR140 ?

Just read that HPS at Bisley sell it, but not on their website just Vit powders. I'll pop in when I'm next there.

Looks like there is nothing to lose by trying it.

I was told that TR140, and T140 (Dolphin are selling T140, although I may have missed the R) was N140 bulk imported and re packaged.

I was told to use the N140 data. Mik Mak was selling it at £55 a pop or 2 for £100.

We now have it at one of our local places.

If it stays at that price, and is genuinely N140 by another name, it is a good buy as N140 is quite a good universal powde, handles well and does not seem to leave my rifles looking like the barrel needs ploughing. It used to be the F/TR fave until it got difficult to get for a while, and then many went over to N540.

Oddly I am looking at going to a Hodgdon powder for my longer range loads....typical!!

It is not N140, but it is a very similar powder made by a Swiss firm. Some reports that it is cleaner, and gives lower ES.

Advice is to use N140 start loads and work up carefully. It seems to be slightly faster.

Brian Fox was selling it at the Phoenix for £50 per kilo, I bought a couple, but have not yet tried it. I'm hoping it will work well in .223, .303 and .308.

The importer also sells Elcho 17, which is exactly the same as Reloder 17, supplied by the same Swiss factory. Same price, i.e. a bargain.

That's interesting...bit naughty calling it TR14o then

It seems to be getting about a bit.
