The load is for 308 winchester with 125 gr sierra sp and IMR 4895.
I am just wanting to confirm the Hogdon load from their website is correct with the minimum being 48 grains and max at 51.3 grains.
I am double checking this information because Sierra lists the same load in their 5th edition with the same components with the min at 42.5 grains and max at 46.2 grains. I called Sierra and he said that IMR 4895 can be easily reduced without much of an issue but I expressed concern with the max Sierra load was listed below the minimum Hogdon load.
I understand different cases have different capacities which could cause some load variation but this is quite a difference.
Hogdon said I could use their data with no issues. How can there be such a difference here? What the heck should I do?
I would really like to use these loads for deer season this year and moving at least 3000 fps.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
