Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has used Win 780. I remember reading an article in Handloader about its use in the 30.06. Of course thats all i remember about it. The reloading manuals i have don't list any loads that use this powder. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Here ya go,,,,,,,,,,,,,www.hodgdon.com
Under the 30-06 loading data, you`ll find Win 780 listed for a 180, a 190 and 220 gr bullet weights.
For lighter than 180 gr bullets, I`d stick with the faster burners listed by Hodgdon.

Hodgdon has data for it on their website.
I would think its a bit on the slow side for an '06. More of a magnum ball powder it seems. I load it in my .270 and .243
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

Works well in the 270 & 280.

My .243 Vanguard loves the stuff with the 95 and 100gr bullets.

I've used it in the .264 and got some good velocities.
