Kid ColterReloading data for Scot Brigadier 3032
Came into a nice keg of Brigadier 3032 that's been well-kept, but not finding any reloading data for it. I know it's in the 3031/2015 burn rate, but hoping to find a bit of published data from back in the '90s when it came out. Any suggestions or leads?
Many thanks,
Matt

homebrewerI found info that states it burns between the speeds of AA2230 and W748, and just a tad faster than BL-C(2). I must confess, I have no idea how burning rate might be used to develop a load...

Kid ColterI'm with you Homebrewer......hence trying to find some published data. I believe it's safe to say burn rate is useful in determining calibers & bullet weights it could be useful for, but would prefer seeing bonafide load data over just experimenting.......

tom hollandAccording to Scott Powder Company Reloading Manual #3. Brigadier 3032: A medium but cooler burning single base tublar rifle powder appr 1-2grains faster than IMR-3031. Also similar to H-322 ideal for many bench rest applications.
I still have some to save time what caliber you looking to load.

Kid ColterThanks Tom - I was hoping someone might have one laying around! I'm interested mostly in the middle bores - Specifically, anything for .250 Savage, .257 Roberts, .270 Win, 7-30 Waters, 30-06, .35 Rem, .375 Win, 45-70, or 50-70 ?
Much Obliged!
