hey guys im at my wits end trying to figure out the correct combo while reloading .308. basically this is what I have.
Powder
IMR 4350
H 4350
Bullets
Barnes 165 GR XBT
Hornady 150 GR GMX
could some one point me in the right direction for a good load on either of these combos. I have a Nosler Load manual, Lee Load Info for the .308, and some Load data from Hodgon's website.
The Nosler manual lists a load combo for the IMR 4350 and the 165 GR bullet but states no min COL, The Lee load has no info for either powders with the 165 gr bullet, but it has a load for the 150 gr bullet and the IMR powder...
Please please help a noobie reloader come up with a load for the 165 gr bullet. The current combo I tried was 165 GR bullet, 46 Grains of IMR 4350, sitting at 2.780" BUT this is a compressed load im assuming because the powder charge fills the bullet all the way up to the middle of the shoulder. and with the bullet seated at 2.780" Im very sure its compressing the powder charge..:banghead:
Any suggestions on a good over all powder to purchase? for bullets ranging from 150-180 range..
Also, any one shoot 200 grain bullets from there .308?
