While hunting around for some medium to slowish burn rate stuff that pretty much everyone needs right now, I stumbled across some Norma powders that no one ever discusses at Midway. I've heard plenty about MRP, and it's usually included on burn rate charts, but Norma 201, 202, 203B, 204 and URP seem to have very little coverage in the manuals.

Hodgdon's current burn rate chart lists 200, 202 and 204.

Anyway, I bought the 202, 203B and URP on a whim but have no load data whatsoever for it.

Anyone got any opinions or find any load data for the stuff and what do you use these for? I've got a wide enough range of big game chamberings that I'm hoping to be able to put these to good use. Especially in the 6.5x55 while staying with the Swedish theme (bought a Husqvarna action for it the other day).
