It's been awhile since I reloaded for this cartridge, and now I think it's time to start again The days of cheap easy to find ammo may be coming to a close.
I have RCBS dies with .308 and .311 expanders, I will be loading for a SKS.
I have some Hornady 123gr SP .310" I have loaded these with IMR-4198 with good results, but my attempts to find more of this powder have been fruitless. I do have Accurate 5744 and Bl-C2 not sure if either of those would be a good choice
I noticed Wholesale Sports had Accurate 1680 for $28 I think I'll hold out for a bit. Any other good powder options, how about H-322 ?
I am also looking for some cheap bullet options, Extreme has plated 123gr FP .312", I would rather try a 150gr plated but I don't know if anyone makes it ?
Would cast lead be a option or would this fowl the gas port ?
I would like to here your thoughts and experiences on this.
Thanks,
