Norma 202&reduced loads?
Hi
The only powder I could find for my 3030 in the gun shop was Norma 202. My question is could this powder be used for reduced loads lika 15 -17 grain loads for plinking in 3030 caliber?. please give me your opinion .TIA

I wouldn't use it, it's a slow powder in that cartridge - Norma's minimum load is 29.9 gr with a 150 gr bullet.

A buddy of mine uses N 110 for his plinking loads w/ a cast 170 grainer, don't know how much or what velocity. Recoil in his Winchester is close to nothing though.

Hej Mats
thanks for the hints. I was not sure of 202 as you said itis a little bit too slow.I am waiting for a mold 160 grain and I hope I can reload some reduced loads . I asked norma I hope they'll send me some information. I like norma's clean powder. i may give a try to vihtavoury(if I am correct)powders . I've no experience of them.

VihtaVuori is the correct spelling... I keep an empty bottle by the 'puter so that I can be sure to spell it correctly!

Not to answer for Danny, but all gunstores stock it!

Well, that is the way it is here in Sweden where the powder is made (and where Danny is!) [Smile]
