Hi All;
Am reloading for a .25-20 Winchester, got everything together but had some questions....
- have .32-20 brass and new Hornady Dies - have resized cases before, do not expect this to be a problem, however finding any of the powders listed on the available data I has was. I have the Hornady & Speer manuals and Lois from the Bullet Barn (where the brass & bullets came from) was nice enough to send me a photo of some other data for their 85g bullet. (no gas check)
The only powder I was able to find was "2400", it was listed in all 3 data guides as "2400" I bought "Alliant 2400" assuming that this must be the correct one?
So:
1. What is up with all these guides listing just numbers and no vendor for powders? Is there any crossover - i.e. chance to make an error?
2. The powder is listed as a "Magnum" powder, which I didn't know until I saw the tub. Speer lists a couple recipes that require magnum primers, but 2400 is listed as a normal CCI 400. I don't need magnum primers unless the load data calls for them - right?
here's the data lois provided - FYI/FWIW
