Thread: What Have You Loaded Today

Poked a few 70grn semipoint on-top of 748 in a trebly case just to see how they go.

I ended up in two places as well! Forgot my aiming spot.

Try 55gr GMK on top of 748. Just done 100. Due to do another 400. Price to pay to shoot deer from the kitchen window.

That's a lot of deer out the window @TeRei

Yeah I have plenty heaps of good lighter loads,just want something a bit different/ heavier for close up bush stuff n pigs.just because I can.

Not today, last night.

Got a handful of 165 grain btsp interlocks off a mate, loaded them to same overall length as factory stuff that shoots really well in my wsm. Test them out tomorrow.

Goal is to imitate a 308/3006 load for close stuff. Should be around 2800 fps (as long as it shoots and inch or so I'll be happy).

The three loaded marked 60 (powder charge) with the factory one on the right.



You're not seeing things, that case on the left is 5 thou shorter than the others

Long day.....decap, anneal, full length size, tumble, inner chamfer, outer chamfer, prime, load charges and finally seat boolits
But I'm now ready for Stewart Island



Will be loading some eldm's tomorrow to see if the Howa likes em too

160gn Hornady FTX loaded for the 308win to a MV of around 2000fps.

Shearer,
What load to get 2000 fps?
2206h at 2/3 of starting?

Productive wet weekend was suppose to be validating but the rain didn’t play ball so loaded instead between games with a busy 2.5 year old, should see the rest of the year out.

36gns of 2208. I haven't chronographed it yet but GRT recons 2038.5fps from my 16" barrel.
I shot some this morning and the seem very accurate.
Note. They make 2 different 30cal 160gn FTX. These are #30396.

Hey thanks Shearer, be keen to know how you get on. Was given a couple boxes of old Norma 170 gn flat nose pills for .30/30 s I think. Looking for a similar velocity load in my .308.

@Shearer what are you going to be using those rounds for? An intriguing load.

Short range bush stuff. Thinking they should kill ok out to 100m but will mostly be under 30m.

Was mucking around, finding a sub load for my 308 Handi Rifle.. found something it liked! Target was at 50m, and the impact point just happened to be right at 3 dots down on the Mildot reticle... 6.0gn of AS50n with Black Widow 165gn RNFP bullets...
