[andries 318 wr]

Morning

Is there maybe anyone that have some experience reloading for the 318WR that might be able to share some loads and feedback.

Thanks,

@andries 318 wr
the loads I have for the 318WR rimless are from load from a disc.
The projectile is a 250gr Woodleigh RNSP
THE LOADS I GIVE YOU WILL BE MINIMUM WITH A PRESSURE FROM 36,OOO CUP TO A MAXIMUM OF 52,000 CUP.
ALL LOADS SHOULD BE WORKED UP FROM MINIMUM.

The best powder is superformance if you can get it as it gives good velocity and low pressure.
Hope this helps

Thanks everyone

I started loading with R19. Groupings at 100m is not bad but not great. Have loaded some H4350 that I had. Will go to the range in a day or two.
