    Was in my Hornady manual working up a load for a 125 grainer for an experiment (helping a buddy try and find a good load for this old enfield) and noticed Varget wasn't on there, but only some odd no name powders. H4895's there but I dont have any at the moment :(

    Anyone use anything else for the light 125 grainers by chance?
     
    used to load lots of 303.

    some old 303's like a .311 bullet, others like .312 bullets most prefer copper jacketed, but some like cast lead round nose with a gas check.

    the original round used a cast lead round nose bullet, no gas check, and black powder. they upgraded to jacketed projos and cordite I think a bit before ww1

    for such a light for caliber bullet, varget is getting a bit on the slow side (but will still work)
