Thread: Round 2

Greetings All,
A couple of light .308W loads that you may want to consider for the young hunters. 38 grains of AR2206H behind a Hornady 150 grain Interlock chronographed at 2,380 fps from a 22" barrel. Recoil was quite mild and would still expand well at reasonable ranges as a light hunting load. 32 grains of AR2206H behind the 155 grain Frontier plated projectile chronographed 1,910 fps with even milder recoil would be a low cost practise load. Boys show little respect for the cost of ammo on the range. Both of these loads shot quite well in my rifle, although a little dirty compared to full power loads. Hodgdon also lists light loads with 125 and 130 grain projectiles on their web site. Scope adjustment will be needed from a full power zero.
Regards Grandpamac.
