| Why would he test loads using the Win X-pert hulls, which haven't been made in some time. Or does he really mean the present Super-X cheddite clone used by Winchester in the Aussie made products? |

Russ,
That's the same load data that Hodgdon put out. They (Hodgdon) is using the Xpert designation to indicate the currently manufactured hulls. |

| As I said above, there is some confusion in the article. I don't think the DR16 was designed as a Win Clone ... maybe the new CB wad, but not the DR16 which is quite unique. Charles H could clear that up for us. I took Xpert to mean old CF formed cases. Hard to believe the powder Mfr would make up names like that when there are both exact and "generic" references like CF & Poly that would be more accurate. On the other hand it is hard to believe lowest pressure result with old CF case. Author was apparently trying to expound on & categorize Mfr. published data. Can anyone cite a print authority for what Xpert means in this context... CF or Poly. |
