Martin TaylorRe: Light loads in .308?Reduced loads of 2206H under a 125 or 150 is an easy option as it will probably end up your go to powder so no need for multiple bottles.Hodgon have a formula which basically starts at %60 of max charge for the given projectile weight using 2206H/H4895 ONLY. I have found l end up a bit higher than %60 to help with case neck expansion/sealing. |

Mike DavisRe: Light loads in .308?125grn nosler balistic tips with win 748 work for us...they are full powerish with 50grns and easy on shoulder,should be piece of cake to drop that down a few grains and go from there........ check any manual and start at the starting load. |
