On my way home, I stopped by my friend's house and he gave me a couple can of the NORMA 203 out of the case and gave me Norma Load Data pamphlet -- sadly no load data for the 7.62x39; So I guess i'll have to figure that one out for myself. Anyhow, as far as the can go, the are clean.. not even a bit of discoloration on them.

I doubt you'll find one. I wouldn't without a pressure gun to work up loads... Those Remington primers should be good to go.Quote:

Over the years I've picked up one or tins of Nobels Rifle and Pistol powders, and glad I kept the book they issued for them.
I was finally able to work up some loads and get out to the range to test that Old Norma 203 power. I ended up loading the .270 Winchester in 0.5 increments starting at 40.5 grains to 45.0 grains. So 10 different loads. I used 130 grain Hornady Interlocks and Remington 9 1/2 primers in Winchester Brass.
Out of the Ten loads, I think I have four possible loads to retest. Unfourtuintly when I got to 44.5 and 45.0 grains I lost the light and my coronagraph recorded error so I lost data points on 44.5 and all of 45.0 so I might run 44.5 and 45.0. Might run 45.5 and 46.0 as well since there were no signs of overpressure.
Bottom line is that the Norma 203 Powder looks to be still viable. Although don't think the .270 is the best caliber to run it in. But makes for some cheap plinking rounds.

My problem is not throwing stuff out but finding it knowing that I have one somewhere. LOL!!
Did you mean 203 instead of 205 ?? - BobQuote:
