Staggered to see people using such bulky expensive powders.
Must be made of money!
Try Vectan AS, cheap and economical.

When I'm not so distracted by the footie and get round to taking the measurements, I'll be looking for some .303s, and might try some 6.5s as well...

Tried the 4.1gr N320 load today in .357 cases, with Fed 100 primers, pushing a GM 158gr lead truncated cone bullet, through my 18.5" (or is it 16.5"?) microgroove Marlin.

One shot (low) called out during sequence, 2nd flyer might well be me too -- was in a hurry.

Ft-lbs: 304, F.P.S.: 931. An accurate load, indeed. Thank you, Dougan.

Tried this load today. One flyer, almost certainly me. The rest are in a superb group:

Ft-lbs: 396, F.P.S.: 1062. Very accurate. Thanks to Tony for sharing his data.
