High velocity Fat 30 load in .303

[NuJudge]

I cast about 60 pounds of Fat 30's today, and I want to try them in .303 with something like 4895, or one of the medium speed surplus powders, loaded to something around 2000 fps. Any suggestions?

Chris, try full case of IMR 7383. ... felix

...or maybe Data 86 (Powder Valley). Gonna pick some up next week at the show, so I have tried it yet, but the burn rate is just about right (4350 to 4831). sundog

That sounds interesting. Down to the last couple of pounds of WC852 slow and it was about like 4831. Maybe just a bit slower. A bit faster wouldn't hurt either!

Felix:

Would it be the same for 7.65 Argentine with a 214 gr Boolit?

If I were going to do that I would seat the bullet over a slightly compress full case of WC872
