For example, a certain powder type can act slightly quicker than some other powder type, when used in 308 Winchester loads however, when these powders are used in 7圆4 loads, evident burning rates might reverse. Ranking differences result from use of different criteria. Still, each such chart tells "the truth". When comparing different burning rate charts, one will notice variations in listed propellant ordering.
Also make sure that you close the powder container properly afterwards.Ĭartridges should be stored under the same ambient conditions to maintain their quality. If the air is too dry, it will dry out the powder, which will cause the pressure to be higher, thus affecting performance. Where possible, store the powder at a constant temperature, ideally between 12 and 15☌, and a relative humidity of 40–50%. To maintain the product quality for as long as possible, you have to keep the powder in a suitable place under suitable conditions.

Discontinue firing at the first sign of excessive pressure or upon noticing a change in the Never exceed maximum loads because excessive chamber pressure will result. Never begin loading with the maximum powder charge shown in these reloading data tables, When combined with personal discipline and attention to detail, such practices can help create a margin of safety for both the reloader and the shooter. Reloading any cartridge requires a familiarity with safe, conservative reloading practices.

Reloading metallic centerfire cartridges can be dangerous! Careless or incorrect handloading procedures can result in serious personal injury. None of the loads listed exceed the industry maximum average pressure of 65,000 psi. Temperature during testing was 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Maximum case length: 2.100 inches trim length: 2.090 inches recommended overall cartridge length: 2.860 inches. Winchester cases and WLRM primers were used throughout. Warning!
