Thread: BSA Load data

my viscount has stamped on the barrel:

"45.6GRs N.C 150GRs Bullet"

Does the "N.C" just mean Nitro Cellulose? would anyone have an idea of the components that would have actually been used for these loads back in its time?

Suspect this is just the load data of the cartridges provided to the proof house.

Personally think the UK proof system is now obsolete, more like a rubber stamp house, as they let rifles which fail headspace Go-No Go tests through as acceptable!

would that not be the load the sights were set for more likely........
thats not far what I used to use in mine..... pretty sure it was...nope will go check
hold the line caller...
yip it is what I used,Winchester 748 with 150grn projectile...3 grains below Winchester paper manual. that was used in the BLR
