I recently aquired 500 bullets which are 147gr m80 ball. I looked up the bullet, and it has some sort of bimetal or steel jacket with copper plating? They're definitely magnetic. I read they're safe to use though since the copper plating is thick.
There's a cannelure on it for 308 but I want to load them 30-06 to shoot thru my m1 Garand and m1903a3 Springfield. I can't find any load data for these. Is 150gr good for cross reference? I wasn't sure as the only 150gr I have in my book is for normal jacketed bullets, not steel/bimetal jacketed with copper plating. Any idea on a good COL? Just compare it to a normal 30-06 m2 ball round?
I have a bunch of varget, anyone have a good starting point? Thanks for the help.
