I got a can of Norma 203-B powder and expected it to be in the burn chart range somewhere between 202 and 204. It probaably is, but I can't find any conclusive data on it. Found sone data for the 6 Br but that's it. I can't get the Norma site to come up to try to get any data from there. Anyone know anything about this powder, what it's like, and data for .17 Mach IV, .222, .223, .22 Br, .22-250, .243, .308, 7-08, '06, 35 Whelen, I could go on and on, but these are cartridges I am suspecting may be sutiable with 203-B that I have.

THe above is from Normas site.... If you can't get anything out of that mess (it's copied straight off) try this:

http://www.norma.cc/nladdtab/Laddata%20203.htm

It might work.. (I couldn't get on the site the usual way either.
I've used the 203-B in my 9,3x62 this season and as I don't have a chronograph I have no idea about the velocity but the reciol sure enough increased compared to my usual 201 load (some of it came from the heavier load but not all!!)

Thank you so much!! I surely hope you didn't have to type all that info out. I'd still be plunking away! Again, Thanks! I am sure I can figure something out from there. I appreciate your help!

No worries! I juist pressed ctrl+C and then ctrl+V and that was it! Glad to have helped you!!
