Thread: A Bit of a Sort Out

A search of my handloading data has turned up some for both IMR and H4198 (AR2207) much of which is for cast projectiles. I also found data for the .30-40 Krag which has close to the same capacity as the .308.
So the question is does anyone have any actual experience in light loads for the .308 using IMR4198?
Regards and thanks Grandpamac.

Well I don't need to tell you.
But any 303 load or any 308 starting load is good for the 30-40
