Anyone tried Win 760 in a 9.3x62?

If so, what kind of charges are you loading? I was playing with the 9.3x62 in Quickload and tried win 760. Wow, looks like it might be THE powder for the old x62. I haven't found any published data for loading 9.3x62 with winchester 760 powder, be nice to look at some real world results/data before i start.

If you find data for H414 just use that .they are pretty mutch the same powder.

 

[Why not?]

It is a tad too slow for the 9.3X62 using bullets up to 286 gr.

What is QuickLoad predicting?

Looks good on paper. Quickload predicts 2650 fps with a 26" pipe and 270 gr speer. Appears max. powder capacity is reached before you run into the wall, pressure-wise. I have a hunch Quickload might be overestimating real capacity by a few grains. We shall see.
