I have been trying WXR in my 260 Remington with 129 gr. Hornady's & 140 gr. Speer's. It is alright, seems like it is damn close to RL22, for less $$.

It's between Re-22 and IMR4831 on the burn charts.
I think it was developed for the heavyier bullets
for caliber, but not much data found other than
from winchester co. I worked up the 154gr load by starting low at 64.0gr and increasing in 1.0gr
increments up to 68gr. Somewhere around 66.0gr
the groups started opening up to 1.25" in my rifle. I tried several other powders (r-22,R-19,
IMR7828, H-870, IMR4350, H-1000 and IMR4831) and
IMR4831 was next best at 3,014fps but not as tight
a groups. I have used this powder 160gr bullets
and got fair groups (1.0"-1.5") at 100yds and 2,948 fps at 67.5 gr recomended by Winchester. I
can't find the WXR listed in any reloading manuals
yet but I bet it will catch on! I may try it in
.270 later on. BLR7 [Cool]
