   Greetings, As my handloading for the .308 approaches 50 years I thought it might be interesting to have a look at some of the data. First loads used AR2201 left over from my .303 loads and 180 grain...

   Greeting again, I believe that the Sako Blade projectile is a monolithic so will need a lighter charge and will develop less velocity. Max velocities for the Barnes and Hornady GMX 165 grain...

   Greetings, I dabbled with the .30-06 AI in the early 1990's. Mine was a Parker Hale target rifle with a 24 inch barrel. I loaded up to 60 grains of the older and slower AR2209 with the 165 grain...

    Greetings, Or you could just measure it. With your rifle in a vice and carefully trained on a mark you can fix a tape to the target and read of the drops. Simple. No opinions or guesses. GPM.
