Anybody have a Norma manual? I picked up some 202 cheap, would like to see if there are any loads listed for 70gr bullets in 243 Win. I know it`s on the fast side, but should still be within parameters. None of my manuals support Norma to any extent. PM me any data.

Thnx muchly..
 
I have quite a bit of Norma reloading information, but the newest chart I have is likely 35 years old and at that time, they did not make Norma 202. In fact, I have never heard of it.
If the number means it is between 201 and 203, it would likely be useful, maybe excellent, for the 243 with light bullets, I would say 70-75 grains or less.
If you have light bullets for your 243, just do like many of us do if we don't have loading information, just start light and work up, watching for excessive pressure.
 
From what I`ve found so far Norma 202 was created especially for the 308 Win. It falls between IMR 3031 and 4064 for burn rate. I think it should be ok for 70gr bullets in the 243Win. Norma doesn`t offer very many options in their data and nothing lighter than 80grs. I`m thinking a charge of about 35gr. to start should be safe. I have several manuals by bullet companys but it`s almost like they boycott Norma powders.
