Winchester 231 Smokeless Gun Powder 8lb

Did you notice something about this load data? All of these loads use the same exact charge weight!  This brings a whole new meaning to “standard loads”. This kind of “Sweet setup” may or may not work out for you- you’ll have to make sure your autoloaders are “happy” with the bullet weights and charge weights used, but in my experience these loads work really well. One powder, 4 different cartridges, and one charge weight.

Being able to use a single powder for multiple applications is a great benefit. This standardization can allow you to keep your powder measure loaded with the same powder, make bulk powder purchases more equitable, and generally make your life easier.

To show you just how versatile this powder is, I wanted to share some load data with you all for some of my “standard loads” (non-magnum). like my Hodgon’s titegroup.
