Hey, all.
I just accquired some powders from a guy I know who is moving. Nice selection of powders for rifle and pistol, I'm going to have fun trying them all out.
Among them was a pound of Accurate 3100. From what I see, it is mainly for larger magnum rifle loads.
The only thing I can think of using it for is my Enfield .303.
I use a 180 grain round nose jacketed bullet.
Has anyone used this powder for that round, or at least be smarter than I am and give me some good suggestions on what a starting load would be?
I haven't yet tried comparing burn rates and such with other powders that show load data for the .303.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. I would much rather find a use for it than destroy or try to find a home for it.
Thanks
