Gunpowder Availability Help From My South African Friends

[Stocky]

I'm helping a friend of mine that lives in SA work up some loads for his .338 Win and .270, but I need to know what gunpowders are available so I can suggest some loads.

For the .338 we're looking for 2800 FPS with 225 Barnes TTSX.

If you don't have the exact loads then I can suggest some if I know what powders can be had locally. You know, something in the H4350 range (on the slow side).

Can you help?

Stocky,
I know he's hunting Elephant at the moment, but will refer you to @bassasdaindia. He should be back in a couple of days, and can hopefully shed some light on the reloading data for the .338Win for you once he returns.

Take Care,
Marius Goosen

Hi Stocky

We load with Sonchem powders here in RSA. I load Peregrine Bullets and they have all the load data you will need for the different powders and points.

If you cant download the above, PM me your email address and I can send you the excel doc (cant upload it to the forum).

Got it, thank you!
