.303 British powders for 123-gr?

[ElvinL]

Curious?

My Hornady load manual shows only a few powders for the .303B. Lyman/Sierra manuals not list and loads for 123gr. Am curious what you guys using for recipe's in the 123gr bullet.

Thanks

I would use trail boss for light billet plinking loads.

But that's just me

I would think medium-fast powders such as IMR3031 would work well.

Using data for the 125gr weight, Hodgdon's online database shows 5 powders that should do the job, if you have access to those powders.

I use H4895 IMR4895 and IMR 4064 in my Brit.
I think Lyman has loads for these powders.
But IMR 3031 is a good powder too but havent used it in years since I sold my 30/30
