Reloading for the .303

wily1 · 07-16-2008, 11:15 AM

Well I have decided as I already reload for my .223 may as well make my own .303 ammo as well. Got the dies etc. yesterday in WInnipeg as the girlfriend needed to do some shopping and I'm still on holidays so thought what the heck. I bought the Sierra Pro-Hunter 150 gr Spitzers and just looking for feedback on powders and weights. I am a big fan of Varget for my .223 and it will work for the .303 as well. I bought Sierra Pro-Hunter 150 gr Spitzers and have data for IMR4895, Reloder 15, and IMR4064 but just wondering if any .303 users who also reload have any tips as best powder etc. I thought I'd ask for advice on the .303 forum as anyone who loads for their .303's would also look through this forum as well.

On 303s I use the 4064, works well. I have my cook books at other house in N.C. don't have data on me. I really enjoy loading the 303, my favorite.

I reload it. All those powders are good performers. I'd try loads with all of them I'm sure you will find a decent load if you do the work.
