Can someone please remind me what powder Dolphin arms is selling which is suppose to be identical to another well known name but cheaper?
I have just checked Dolphin arms, Fox Firearms and the F Class web page, not forum, and can see no signs of it anywhere.

I am not in the market yet, but may give it a go when I run out of Viht.
Would the Elcho 17 not be a possability for Watcher?

Re: Reloading 7.62 x 51
Ref RUAG as a reference:
The NRA RWS spec is entirely performance based. RUAG are required to achieve 2920 ft/sec or more out of a 30" x 1/13" UK reduced dimensions barrel at a max average working pressure out of a CIP standard test barrel (NB the switch in standard) under International Standard Atmosphere conditions of 3650 Bar, and are required to do it within specified conditions of accuracy at 300 m.
Fortunately, because they are required to do it with a Sierra 155 bullet, anyone who owns a typical UK target rifle can work up a load behind a Sierra 2155 that achieves 2920 ft/sec and be reasonably confident that they are doing something not too different.
Unfortunately, exactly which powder RUAG are using is a commercial matter. Fortunately, anyone with accesss to the Internet can find out which powder companies RUAG own and thus take a good guess at what is in a round of NRA RWS ammo.
