winchester wxr powder

Re: winchester wxr powder

I have 8#'s of it have played alittle with it. Seems like RL22 is the closest I can compare it to. It can get kind of peaky just like rl22. Velocity is the same as RL22 for max loads in a 7mm WSM and 270 WSM for me. This stuff is pretty good but I like Norma MRP better in this burn range seems less peaky.
 
Re: winchester wxr powder

Isn't this stuff discontinued?
Local gun shop was goin out of business a few months ago and they had tons of this powder with old peeling labels up on the shelf (was about all that was left).
 
old thread, but anyone use it?

thinking about trying it in 7mm rem mag.. I know it is an old discontinued powder but i have a couple lbs and access to a few more
