Does anyone know what kind of powder is used in Federals XM193? I pulled a bullet from a Lake City 08' case and measured 27.5 grains of powder. The powder looks like H335. Anyone know?
Also 27.5 grains seems like a hefty charge when my hornady manual shows 23.2 grains as a max load with the same bullet. Anyone have info? |
| yeah I pulled a bullet from a 08' case and weighed it with my hornady scale and it came out to 27.5 grains. I was wondering why my reloads didn't have the same recoil as XM193 thats because there was a whopping 27.5 grains in it verus my 23grains of H335 in my reload. |

The powder in any commercial or military loaded ammo isn't necessarily something us mere mortals can lay our hands on.
Reason tells me that much of it is but I wouldn't know how to tell. You can weigh it and look at it with a glass or microscope but it could be similar looking to some available powder but still have a different burn rate This would be great info to have but I can't see any of the big boys handing over that info. |
