Royal Scot D powder info needed--------

MDB · June 9, 2009, 11:27 AM

Does anyone know where I can get loading data for Royal Scot D powder? I can't find much info. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks

Sam06 · June 9, 2009, 11:45 AM

what are you loading it in? I have a bunch of loadbooks that have the data.

MDB · June 9, 2009, 11:54 AM

I'd like to use it--45acp---40 S&W---44 mag---38 & 357 mag if possible. Thanks

Sam06 · June 9, 2009, 12:28 PM

I Can help with a few:

45 ACP
185gr bullet 4.9-5.0gr
200gr bullet 4.0-4.8gr
230gr bullet 4.3-4.6gr

44Mag
180gr bullet 10.6gr
200gr bullet 10.1gr
240gr bullet 9.7-10.5gr
265gr bullet 9.7gr

Thats all I can help with. I don't have a loadbook for 38/357 and I don't load the 40 short&weak.

Good luck with it and be carefull with the data. The data above was taken out of the Loadbook for the 44Mag dated 1995 and 45ACP loadbook dated 1995. The data is for Royal Scot Powder(No D in it) But I have read the data is the same. I may be wrong though so look further for true data. The loads listed above are safe as far as I know and neither I nor TFL take any responsibility for you using them. I look at all reloading data found on the internet as posted by the uni-bomber and I am very careful. You are warned.....................Sam

I love that. I do load for it, but I prefer the 10mm daddy all day long.

Thanks Sam. Does anyone know when they added the "D"? I read somewhere the "D" was added when they started production in Czechoslovakia. I'm a little leery now.Thanks

From what I read in a quick Google search is the D stands for dense. I think the formula was changed but the burn rate was not. It looks like it was made as a shotgun powder and falls between Clays and HP38. It should be good powder but I have also seen reports that it is inconsistant which is not good for accuracy. I know how it is with powder that there are no real tables for. I want to use ramshot powder and there is not a lot of data on it published. Plenty on the internet though but I am not a very tursting guy with internet handloads. Good luck with the powder.

I called that phone number and talked to Johan Loubser. A nice man FYI. He sent me load data for handguns and shotguns which also included several other powders that they sell. I am ready to try it out. Thanks again for the info. MD
