Loads

[Delmonico]

From my post in the Archives forum:

New folks questions are most often about loads.

I/m going to search out the regular board and dig up what I can, but I'm also going to start a thread there to post loads and I will divide them up by caliber.

Also I know some do like to shoot Nitro loads, so I'll have a seperate area for them.  I will ask that any of these be from a santioned loading manual and I ask that you quote the source.

This may take a little while, but I will work on it as I have time, object is to get a good data base to point newcomers to.


I will also search the board as I have time.

Why not ask that posters quote the scource and give a link/address to a web site too?
I never use a load unless it's approved by the powder maker.
I'm to pretty to take a chance ya know!

If you go back and reread my post, you'll notice I asked that for Nitro loads.   And if you understand black and the subs you will no it involves a fulll case.

My mistake, I assumed that you were talking about smokeless as the 'Nitro' loads are actually the early Cordite loads.

No, any load using a Nitrocellulose based load were in the time period sometimes called Nitro loads, it is a term I prefer rather than smokeless which is not always true.

BTW in English gun nomenclature nitro often, but not always mean cordite loads.  Some English rounds have always used other than cordite after the switch from black powder.
