Laurie Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 The GB outlet for the 'Reload Swiss' Nitrochemie powders range has got its website going, at the moment really on a 'watch this space' basis with promotional video, plus a sign-up to news facility for you to be advised of things as they unfold. http://www.propellants.co.uk/ This is Nigel Cole-Hawkins of TR140 / Elcho 17 repute, recently appointed as the UK distributor and now beavering away setting up a retail network and commissioning load development / pressure testing. (I'm told the existing Swiss loads data is thin to non-existent, so it's a near start from scratch job.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianchi Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 This is what is already available, albeit limited and hardly for LR apps and calibres. Customer pet loads are also included: http://www.reload-swiss.com/en/reload_swiss/service_2/rs_kundenladedaten/seite___konfigurator.php The link should appear in English.

Gandy Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Looks interesting and hopefully a good resource as it develops in time. Signed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Surely the makers/importers will supply more comprehensive load data - there is so little on the Reload Swiss® site at present, many popular calibres aren't even mentioned - In was amazed to see no load data for 7.5x55mm Swiss for example on a Swiss site!

Laurie Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Nigel Cole-Hawkins has commissioned an outfit in this country to do that job. There should be a good range of cartridges and data by the time of the lauch, although I can't imagine it'll be as comprehensive as Hodgdon who've been working on this for years.

Ha! Ha! I hadn't noticed that omission. Maybe nobody handloads GP31 ammo in the land of cuckoo clocks given the amount of government assistance still provided to Service Rifle competitors whether with Schmidt type straight pulls, or the 7.5mm StG57 first gen assault rifle. (I handled one of these a few years back, and I WANT TO SHOOT ONE - REALLY BADLY!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I handled one of these a few years back, and I WANT TO SHOOT ONE - REALLY BADLY!) You could have a point there Laurie, plus GP11 is so cheap in much of Western Europe. I have recently bought a rather nice K31 and was fortunate enough to shoot my pal's Stgw.57 in Luxembourg a couple of years ago. The Stgw.57 is quite amazing for an assault rifle, it's so damned accurate with GP11 even with issue sites, and with diopter sights it's quite incredible.

furrybean Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Just looking at the RS website, Am I being thick or is the Quickload file a .txt and not a .pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furrybean Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Cancel that, Ive changed the extension to .pro and it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillo Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Regarding the RS QuickLoad plug-in, the pressures are incredibly low for such high given MVs. It makes me wonder how accurate it all is, especially as the TR140 results do not match those of RS 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
