Vectan powder for downloaded rifle rounds

#1 Post by mag41uk »

I have a Sennybridge G range shoot coming up which is ammo usage high!
This is a CQB range out to about 350 yards on Fig11 and 12`s.
I usually shoot 140 and 185gn lead out the 303 and 7.5x55 with A5744 for 1800 fps or so.
Economical shooting and little recoil and wear.
So I have run out of A5744 but have loads of AS,A1 and AO.
AS is similar to red dot,A1 is similar to green dot and AO is similar to Herco.
I have used A1 in the 303 but am really looking for the 1700 - 1800 fps area.
I think AO will do it and would probably use around 15 to 16gns.
I am basing this around "The load" of 13gns of red dot.
I do have N120 that I can use but as I have a couple of kilos of cheap AO would prefer to use that.
Any one used AO in this way?

Can't answer your question sorry, but I have some Accurate 5744 (rebranded as Lovex D060) if it's of any use to you?

Which club are you shooting G range with? Lovely little range.
