I'm just wondering what results you've gotten; good,bad, or blah?
I fell into 3 pounds.

Well, looks like you’re plowing new ground.
I’ll hazard a guess that lots of folks here tend to use cheaper powders to stretch the budget further. Then some of the more serious shooters don’t care to talk much about their specific results. Nothing to be gained by that except getting a few flames. My guesses.

Shoot some of that Norma and VV and let us know how it goes. I’ve never shot any of either. If it’s super good in some respect, I might consider them.

I know. These are from the effects of a late friend who was a benchrest competitor.
I will try them but I already have too many favorite powders.
A good problem to have. Thanks!

Both Norma and Vithavouri are great powders.. I use nothing but Norma for rifle calibers and vithavouri for handguns..

N203B and RL15 are nearly the same powder if not duplicate these days. So close to each other its a wash.

Just a guess, but he may have purchased these powders when Varget and Re15 were very hard to find a few years back.

Lots of thoughts that N203B and Re15 being very very close if not the same powders. N140 is also in a simular burn rate. They are both very good in 6BR and the Dasher too, while Varget may be used more in those 2 cases mentioned.

I've used N140, Re15, and Varget in 308. All are very accurate powders for their application.

Thanks everyone. He did have a 6mm Dasher so that's where it was going. I'll try some in the .358 Win. When I find data.
