Jack Houston # 35508 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 There isn't any printed data I can find for Nitro 100 for use in 38 special. I have 8 lbs of the old formula Nitro 100. The new forumla is supposed to be shotgun powder. Anyone have any data? PM me or e-mail me at loneriderleather@hotmail.com

John Boy Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Slim, LoadData is an excellent site for loading data. Like having a loading reference manual in ones gun room. The downside is one has to pay for access to the data ... and common practice of CAS folks is to come to the shooting forums and want the data for free
Guest diablo slim shootist Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Yea free is nice ...Jack sent you a PM
SGT. ELI 35882 GUNFIGHTER Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Isn't it great...a company changes their formula, leaves the name the same, and then posts no load data for their own powder. I used the old Nitro 100 and when I re-order an 8lb. container a couple of years ago I had no idea they had changed it. Still no load data on their website for it.
Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 here is a link to the Accurate Loading Guide #2 http://www.scribd.com/doc/36302640/Accurate-Reloading-Guide The Nitro 100 in here is the old stuff There is a cowboy action section as well I know .38 is not .44 but when I called Accurate about the new nitro 100 the guy told me to use 15% less. They should be getting a new guide out. There are now Nitro 100 loads listed in their online guide for the new nitro 100
Jack Houston # 35508 Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 Thanks all, I knew I wasn't just making it up about the formula change! I had talked to Accurate some time back just couldn't remember the starting load
