Norma 204 Experience?

462

California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
Anybody have any experience with Norma 204 powder?
I may be able to buy a few pounds for $10 per.
It falls between IMR 4350 and IMR 4831.
Data is scarce, in American publications, but Norma has it on-line.
Jacketed bullets: 6.5 Swede, 7X57, .30-'06, 7.65X53.

Thanks,
Michael

I have never used N204 myself, but it is in quite common use in the scandinavian countries. Norma powders are generally very good, and I would use them more if they weren’t so pricey in Norway. At 10$ a pound, I would run for it.

I'd be all over bout anything at 10$ a lb if I could get a reasonable quantity of it.
1 lb wouldn't do me much good unless I was gonna load some 380's or the like.
anyhow Norma is what Weatherby uses [is loaded by Norma] in their rifle lines, I do remember some book having some data for Norma powders about 20 years back when they first popped up here.
I want to say Hodgdon had it in one of their hardback editions, or maybe Speer.
see what happens when you got like an 8' shelf of manuals?, but I do remember seeing some.
