Anybody have a favorite .303 Brit powder. I'm currently using using R-P brass, CCI200 primers, Speer 150gr SP and 40.0gr of IMR4895.
I'm shooting low with this load, so low I need to set the rear sight at 500meters to bring it up to give enough elevation for 100yrds. BTW it's a No.4 Mk.2, but I have a No.1 Mk3 I'm fixing up.
While the 40.0gr of 4895 is more or less a starting load and I could beef the load up, I'd like to reserve the 4895 for my Garand and other gas guns.
In a old Hodgdon manual No26 (IIRC) they listed H335 as a good .303 powder, and the Aug issue of Handloader, Mike Venturino listed RL15 and Sierra's 174grHPBT a match to the old british load.
