    Data 2200

    Has any one used Data 2200 for the Grendel? I see it was good with 7.62X39, I cant find any thing on it at AA reloading site. I ask because I was given 8lbs of it.

    Generally, most people haven't had great luck with it.

    Here's another thread asking the same question:

    Just like the title says. Anyone tried it? I have some for my 6.8 loads and I am curious about what loads I might start with. Think its too fast?


    BTW--Welcome to the forum!!

      This is straight fro Johan at Western Powders.

      Pay particular attention to the 100gr Nosler BT data.
      Max of 27.3gr, velocity 2673fps, at 51,692psi

      Now look at my previous post using QL generated data with 100gr Noslert BT and 2200.
      Max of 26.46gr, velocity 2643fps, at 50,158psi

      Another dead on home run prediction by Quickload!

        I see no similarity between quickload data and the data you just posted.

          Really? .84 gr difference in Max powder charge and a pressure difference of 1,534psi! Actual Pressure Tested data from one manual to the next can't even get that close. Yeah Quickload nailed it again, pure and simple, you just have to take the time to read the data posted.

            Of course we can set QL to have equal pressure as Western data.
            Western Data 27.3gr at 51692psi
            QL Data
            Code:
             +00.0   91    [B]26.73 [/B]  2668    1581   51669   7340     97.2    1.012
            That a whopping .57 gr. See any similarities now?

              So you are saying that .5 - .8 of a grain is similar?

                No actually, It's "dead nuts" , "right on", "home run", "A-1" "Perfect" etc.etc.

                I assume you are an experienced handloader and know what "lot-to-lot" variations are, yes? Good! Now please tell us what Ramshot-Accurate-Western powders considers acceptable lot to lot variations as a percentage with there powders? When you are done searching for this info then you can do some simple math, and determine if QL data is within Western powders acceptable "lot-to-lot" variation or if it is way off as you seem to think.

                A hint, Western lot-to-lot variations is less than 4% and larger than 2%. Good luck and use a calculator, it make this new math a bit easier.
