My examples of them, both dating from 2012, have near identical water capacity after firing in my minimum SAAMI chambered rifles, and also have near identical neck thickness. I expect and get the same MVs from them. I can't see how RWS gives 100 fps higher MVs, short of some serious load and pressure changes. In same capacity cases, it takes 2gn of Viht N140 and over 7,500 psi peak pressure change to move between 2,850 and 2,950 fps in a 30-inch barrel (QuickLOAD).
Spookilly enough when used in my old M67 with same data as my lapua loads my elevatiosn went up and the group opened up a tad with RWS brass and Federal.
I wonder of this was because I was effectively using un fireformed brass (having been FL resized etc as you would do with once fired from an unknown source)?
Just a thought
I'l fetch my coat.
PS, regarding the comment about RS40....bloody good job we know how to work safe loads up and dont take things at face value eh?

How do the retail Reload Swiss prices compare to the TR140, Elcho17 prices?
Having looked at a couple of websites and made a telephone inquiry the RS branding are slightly more expensive than the TR and Elcho branding but they are still by far the most competitively priced powders that are available here. They are all sub £60 a kilo. I will still get my TR140 from the original importer as that is the easiest and cheapest way to it.
If one is at Bisley then it makes absolute sense to get your supply from there.
However there are many shooters who would like to use the powder but as distribution is so poor not having a distributor then many suppliers cannot stock it.
Come on Bambi get some
Imperial Good Metric Bad
Analogue Good Digital Bad
