crismaqsood Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 Hi there.  New to reloading do bare with 🙂  I'm looking into reload data for my Rem 700 (26" barrel, 1:12), .308 flavour for target shooting.  Need through a few reloading books but was wondering if any of you more experienced have any advice/reload data regarding the rs50 powder for this calibre.  I've got a batch of Hornady BTHP match 155gr but, of course, open to try others.  For now I'll be using Hornady brass and fiocchi large rifle primers (as a startup) but thinking of eventually moving on to lapua brass.  Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 I used around 44.5gr RS50 for my 155gr rounds and it was an accurate and safe load. Similar to N140 but takes a little more. Bulk density is 950g/l for RS50 compared with 910g/l for N140. Energy rating (heat of explosion) N140 is 3700 j/g compared with 3750 for RS50. They're not identical but very close to it.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
