Best powder for 9.3x74r in double

Post by Keewee »

Would appreciate some min-max load calculations or proven load data using 232gr Norma Oryx and 286gr Prvi and Hornady. It's for use in a S/S double rifle so looking for powder giving good velocity at lowest pressure.

Reload swiss RS60 should be good for your purpose.

Best regards,

Oscar thanks for the suggestion, I am using AR2209 at present, from the loading data that I obtained prior to starting load development AR2209 seemed to be well suited
I am just wanting to know if there is perhaps something better out there that gives similar velocity at lower pressure.

I have been using 65.5gr of 2209 with 286gr interlocks for many years now. Very accurate and hits hard.
