question about powders

[deadly0311]

Guys i was given some powder and was wondering if it would fit either of my applications, i only load for 308 and 6x47 Lapua

I got
Retumbo
H1000
and H335

would any of those 3 work for either round i load for?

Re: question about powders

Retumbo and H1000 are good for WSM's and Mags. Lotta guys use those in 300wm.

Dunno about H335 but QL says it's faster then Varget.

Re: question about powders

would you think that the H335 would work in either the 308 or 6x47?

Im assuming the Retumbo and H1000 are slower burning powders

Re: question about powders

Probably could be used in either but will not even come close to filling the case up.

Seems a lot of guys use it in .223.

What is the case capacity of the 6x47?

my 6x47 loads have around 39 grains of RL15 in them.
