Its a fine grain powder that measures and packs well. I suggest that you work up loads from any data you can find and also use a burning rate chart. http://www.hodgdon.com/burn-rate.html All guns should be locked up when not in use!

Does anyone know if 225 Bearclaws are available to reloaders ... cannot locate them .... have purchased them in federal factory loads for the 35 whelan and would like to load them for moose in the .358 win

I did work at Jack Carter’s shop. I’d take my pay in bullets.

DF You may not get an answer. Some say it’s great, just it’s lot of info. RL-7 and RL-12 (discontinued) are popular. RL-10 has a good burn rate for 180’s and 200’s. And I have a can. Somewhere I got 45 gr with 200’s, which seems reasonable. IIRC, Gunner500 mentioned RL-10 in the .358 Win. May need to check with him, get his load and then back off a bit...😄 DF Edited to add: QL shows 42gr RL-10 with 200’s at 2,500 fps. Last edited by Dirtfarmer; 09/23/20.

My load is 49.0 grs of TAC under a 225 Woodleigh Weldcore RN SN. Could probably go up another grain but have not had the need. Holy throwback, this thread was started in 2011!
