    If by some chance it does turn out to be 6.5 x 54, I just bought a set of RCBS dies for that, hoping I could form shootable cases for my 6.5 x 53R Dutch. Didn't work, let me know if you need them.

    Do I recall correctly that this short-lived powder was actually Reloader 22? Found 1 lb at a local shop, and RL22 is my long time favorite for the 6.5x55.

    Has anyone tried it in either 9.3x62, or 9.3x74R? IT looks like the burning rate should be somewhere in the ballpark. I have had best results so far with Varget and RL15 in those two, but always...

    WST has been my favorite for 45 cast loads for several years; it also works well in 40 and 9mm. WSF is better for jacket bullet loads, seems to burn just a tad slower.
