Does anybody use Winchester 748 powder in .303 with 180 grain bullets? I can't find any data in my usual sources. The reason I want to use 748 is because I would prefer to use the same powder I use for loading .308 and I have a couple pounds on hand.

In the Hornady 7th edition, using their 174gr with 748 they list a starting load of 32.8grs and a maximum of 40.0grs. In the Sierra 5th edition, using their 174gr and 180gr with 748, they list a starting load of 35.2grs and a maximum of40.0grs.
