BW-36 powder

[rt109]

I am looking for load data for this powder. I picked up a couple of sealed jugs from an older gentleman who did not have any data to load with. I am interested in possibly loading for a 30-30. Does anyone have any data or could refer me to a website that could help me out? Thanks!

I got four pounds of that stuff several years ago and found it to be a good powder in several things, wish it could still be had. I did a bunch of figuring and cross checking with the limited data I had and came up with a factor that I could use IMR 3031 data x .99, so slightly faster burning. It worked fine and I have used nearly all of it up now with no problems.

Good stuff in things like .223 and .30-30.

It worked real well for me in my Contender 30-30AI and Mauser 8X57 with cast and jacketed in both guns. Used it in the 223 Rem also.
