Thread: Velocity guesstimate

I've done some playing with reduced loads in both 708 and 260 rem

120gr bullets in each with 30 to 32 gr of IMR 4198

I got onto the 4198 from research I did on Yankie forums. It's the powder that Remington use in their factory reduced recoil loads for 7mm08. 30 gr for around 2200 fps

I have tested it in both 708 and 260. Far batter accuracy than the reduced loads using 2206h.

I can't see why 308 would be any different.

Edit.

Ok so looks like you may want to be at a lower charge weight in 308.
