Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles WXR Winchester Powder

Was wondering if anyone has used this one yet? I have in 7wsm and .243 and it's been great so far. Seems to be in the RL-22 class. It's made in Sweden and seems to burn very clean. I have the new Nosler and Hornady manuals but that one's not listed. Hornady #5 still lists the WRM powder that this one replaced. According to Winchester, this is the one they use to load their 7mm Rem Mag with. BM

Hey Bluemoon,
<br>
<br>I was hoping someone else would spend the money first.
<br>
<br>I currently use both IMR 7828, and R22 in my 7mm Mag. Does the WXR look any better than either?

TMan,
<br>
<br>I have used the 7828 on only one loading and the RL-22 on several. The WXR velocities are far above either so far. The lot of RL-22 I have has a caution on it from Alliant so I haven't pushed it very hard yet. The data for the 7wsm is hard to come by so I have not had a chance to try all the powder and bullet combos yet. The only data I found was on the shortmags.org site and was from Winchester and Hornady. The newest Nosler and Hornady manuals don't even show WXR. Hornady shows WMR but that's been replaced by WXR.

That's what I needed to hear, I'll pick up a pound and copy you on the numbers.
<br>
<br>Thanks,
<br>TMan
