I've looked through several load books and downloaded many more. I cannot find load tables for one of the most common cartridges in the shooting world. Mind you, 7.62x51 is not 308 Win. Also, since 7.62x51 has a case wall that is a bit thicker than that of 308 Win, it has a lower volume, thus less powder OR higher pressures. Somewhere I read "use 2 grains less" but that doesn't satisfy me. Do you all have load tables you care to share? More importantly, why would such data not be commonly listed? After all, there are many military cartridges out there like the 223, 30-06, etc. that do have commonly available data.
Thanks amigos,
