Not sure this is the right place to post this, but...

So I can't get RL 15 and one powder I am considering as a substitute is Norma 203b. Could anyone run a quickload simulation and tell me what Min and max loads and velocities and pressures would be?

I am running a 260 gf accubond out of a 25" barrel 375 h&h, using federal brass and Winchester magnum primers.

I also heard that QL will offer suggestions on other substitute powders...ie something like RL15?

Thanks!

Better late than never, the new version 3.8 just showed up finally. I took .010 off the max COL to run these numbers for a length of 3.590

Cartridge : .375 H.& H. Mag.
Bullet : .375, 260, Nosler AccuBond 54413
Useable Case Capaci: 77.487 grain H2O = 5.031 cm�
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.590 inch = 91.19 mm
Barrel Length : 25.0 inch = 635.0 mm
Powder : Norma 203B

Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 2.0% of nominal charge.
CAUTION: Figures exceed maximum and minimum recommended loads !

I use IMR 4064 in my .375 H&H using either the Nosler 260 gr.accubonds or my favorite, Barnes X 235 gr. bullets. Works great in my Winchester model 70. IMR 4064 is the most accurate powder that I've tried, and I've tried a lot over the years.
