The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

Just wondering how many people on the forum are using Swiss RS50 in their .303 reloads. I'm fairly new to reloading, and so far have only done a sample batch using this powder. I used the minimum recommendation of 39.5gn (174gn bullet), and found that the POI was dropping significantly over 200yds when compared to similar weight 'bought' cartridges. I'm planning on upping the powder to 42gn on the next sample batch. Anyone got any constructive advice....
Thanks in anticipation,

It works, I have used it for a few years now under the name TR140 and it works superbly, the powder appears to be a tad slower than N140 so any load data for N140 should be fine, as ever start low and work up, I have good results with around 41 grains out to 600 yards.

Quite a few I know of use RS50 with 174gr bullets with the typical loading being 40gr. I had the same issue as you, but I haven't got around to loading more up with this powder. I would recommend checking the Reload Swiss website for load information.

Thanks for the replies guy's, I will increase the charge slightly and see how it goes. Once again thanks for replying.
