Morning all,
Years ago, I had a very good load for the .303 that used the Sierra 180 gr. PSP and Norma # 202 powder.
Lost my data for it! Tried looking it up, but can't find it anywhere.
Does the Sierra manual list Norma #202 powder?
Why I ask, is I just found a couple of cans I'd forgotten about, and would like to try it again.
Thanks for any help!
Richard.
Just checked my sierra (edition 5) manual. No Norma powders were listed.
I have a new Norma manual, but it only lists load data for 150, 174, and 215 grain bullets. I can post that page if you like.
Good morning SMLE,
Thanks for the reply.
I did see the data for Horndy bullets and Norma powder. Maybe I used this as a reference. Been along time!
If you could post what you have, it may be very helpful though.
Thank you!
Richard.
Taken from Volume 2, Norma manual, dated 2013.
Hope this helps!

Thank you SMLE, I have saved that!
Thanks for the PDF link as well Jim, I think I can start lower and use these figures.
If only I could remember what I did with my old data. It hung on the wall above the press, and I suppose I "tidied up" at some point! :-)
With all those powders gone for ages, I don't doubt you cleaned up a bit and it went out.
Quite right Jim, but then a couple of cans of Norma #204 turned up (Excelent for the 6.5 x55!!) Plus 2 1/2 cans of #202, and I really liked that in the .303. I thought I'd used all that powder years ago.
Dunno where it came from...
Have loaded up a few to try in the old MLE Mk 1 with a worn -out barrel. Will keep you posted. (said gun has a tight chamber still, so that's nice!)
I've had older powders given to me and too, been forced to consume them...
