Hello folks,
Do any of you use Tu3000 in a 223? I have used it quite extensively over the last couple of years in my 308 @ 600 yards + and it seems very good. I have just brought a 223 for my wife to paper punch with and, if possible would like to use the same powder (I have a few kilos of it!)
The 223 has a 26" 1 in 9 barrel and I will be reloading with 69 grn SMK's
Thanks in advance.

Meaty,

At the moment I can only find the following reloading information relating to Vectan powders;

23 grains apparently: http://www.balleurope.com/recharge/epau ... ?langue=en
I can check it with QuickLoad if you can give me a bullet weight and COAL

Loads of info here, Meaty.

Looking at the PDF I get 20.2 min load and 21.9 max with 69 scenars which should not make a big difference to the SMK's you are using.

BTW that PDF has a burning rate chart.

This may be of some use as well, it looks to be the full load data for .223

Hello all,
Thanks very much for all the info. Should keep me going for a while.
Regards.
Ian.
