Norma 200 Powder?

Postby Stealthshooter » Sun Jul 31, 2011 10:25 am

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Norma 200 and the heavier bullets say 300-405 grainers? It's number 69 on the burn chart one step faster than rel7 and six steps slower than Win296. Rohk ran some numbers for me using it and both 350 grain and 405 grain bullets. The numbers came out very nicely but I've never had any experience with Norma powder and was wondering if anyone here has? If so how well does it light off and how temp sensitive is it? Most of my hunting will be done at 25-60*F so I'm not sure 296 will be a very good choice. My other go to powder will probably be rel7 but according to QL the velocities were around 40 fps faster with the Norma 200.

Some times, you have to break a few eggs to get a good omelet. My bottom right drawer on my reloading "office table" holds the members of the "Seemed like a good idea" club. Most folks tend not to stray from the beaten path too far. You could be a couple of mouse clicks from an epiphany or a candidate for your bottom right drawer. Then again everyone needs a can of fire-forming powder. ;)

Quickload likes it with a slightly compressed load under a 300 grain cast boolit. Worth trying IMHO.

Where as I'm mostly wanting to play with the heavier bullets it seemed like a good starting point. Hopefully I can find a local source for it.
