troy_mclure · March 11, 2009, 10:12 PM

my hornady book shows loads in win 748 for the .204, the Lyman doesnt have any loads using win 748.

has anybody had any luck using win748 in the .204?

my local range has only winchester reloading supplies, but they have plenty of them.

I have the 2008 Hodgdon booklet in front of me, and it only shows data for Hodgdon and IMR powders. BLC2 and H335 would be the closest to WW 748 in burning speed, so that might give you something to start with. Try the WW website; it's hooked up to the Hodgdon site though and might not have any data either. If you can find an '08 or '09 WW booklet, it may have it if WW is even printing one.
