I canNOT find my blasted reloading manuals (yet.. I hate moving!).
I am sure my fav. load was for 200 gr. SWC bullets is 5.4 gr. Win. 231.

Well, I looked at the Win. web site, finally found their current load data, and noted with some surprise that their recommended max. load is 5.6 gr.
Has the new powder been reformulated?

My largest can of W231 powder is 5 or so years old.

Then, I looked at the Hodgdon web site and see that their recommended max. is 5.9 gr. of W231.

curiouser and curiouser.

I know guys who like 6.0-6.1 gr. W231 w/ a 200 gr. SWC and shot a LOT of rounds of it practicing (for that Bullseye thing ).

opinions?
