Thread: W760

Tried some in the 7mm08 yesterday. I was super impressed with how well it went through the Auto-Charger, quick and accurate... Got good enough accuracy so I'm happy as.

@Wildman, what powder were you using before ?

Did you get more speed out of the W760 ?

2209 I think. Didn't chrony sorry and have since sold the gun... Quickload was suggesting good things though...

no worries, loaded some tonight and should do testing wed morning if the forecast stays the same. will let you know chrony results.

going to re-do my 2209 tests, the results did not make sense, and i might have a small amount of RL17 for testing soon.

im looking for a new powder to use in the 243 might give it a try was going to use 2209

I'm looking to try 2209 for better case fill. It hasn't been terrible so far in my limited Swede testing, but 2209 seems to be where it's at with the Swedes

That's good to know as I'm looking for a powder that can do the 243 and my 6.5x55 I was using 2208 before

i use it in my 8x68s cal rifle it very consistent mag primers do make a big difference ball powder is harder to ignite so thats why they say use magnum primers
i also use 780 in my 300wsm its good to haven,t got round to trying it in my 8x68 it will be interesting to compare the 2 win powders
my cousin has uses win 748 in his 308 loads a for years and will not alter because it is so consistent
