> Thanks for taking the time to do this. You might note that the Sellier & Bellot ammo is from the Czech Republic, not Russia. I was reloading some .303 last night and noted that the IMR 4895 powder looks exactly like the IMR 4064. The powders have different burn properties, so I suspect that even though the powder looks identical in your bullets, its probably too much to conclude its actually the same type of powder. > Can you measure the bullet diameter on yours? I;d be interested in knowing if they are all .311. > bobB - Sorry for the wait, but was busy in the shop. I measured the projectiles (finally) and they are as follows: Rus. Mil is .310 the Sellier and Bellot is .310 and the Wolf is .309 No .311 in this batch. That is why I have begun loading with the .308 from Winchester. I will post my findings on this later. Dale
