Has anyone used Ramshot powder in their 303. It's very reasonably priced.

Answered my own question from Western Powders Manual No5.0 That's handy, I have some 150gr Sierra SP and Ramshot TAC, it's cheap, it works very well in my 223 and they also provide data for 5.56 - I've got a heap of those too.

I see that Lovex do have load data for 150 and 180gr bullets. Nice and cheap too, D0734 is £32.00 per pound. http://claygame.co.uk/products/category/lovex-powders. I've read else where that D0734 is actually Accurate 2230 and that these Lovex Powders actually Western powders re-branded. If correct that should mean it can also be used for 125gr as suggested in the Western manual No5.

The latest Lee reloading manual has quite a bit of data for Ramshot powders. Ramshot Tac is supposed to be simular to Varget  (2208)  but have not been able to get my hands on any as of yet.

Not tried it in 303 but it's very good in 223.
