Ozzies are very fond of ADI Powders (Australian Defense Industries) It brought into the States as Hodgson.

The problem in Scandinavia is that the import of IMR and Hodgson powders is erratic at best.

There is some use in the load data though...we can interpolate to Norma and Vitavuori powders..

The Norma N4 is what I have used in my .475 NE thus far..

a package showed up from Australia today.



as you can see the bottom right corner is a bit dinged up from the long journey but at least I have the book now.

There is load data for the 475NE in the Woodleigh loading manual.
One of the powders is a Vihtavuori powder.

Graeme Wright's book also has a few loads for the 475NE, but noting the Woodleigh book hasn't got.

I haven't had a chance to really have a good look at the Woodleigh Manual as yet. Just a quick glance at a few things I have wanted to check, but from what I have seen it's a well put together manual.
Well worth adding to your collection.

looks like you can now get the manual at MidwayUSA so you don't need to order from Aussy land any more.
