    .30 Carbine bullets in .30-06 reduced loads?

    I have used The Load in .308 Win using 110gr Carbine bullets. It works.

    load data and bullet substitute

    Well, now, this has me wondering about reduced loads for my .308 Win using 110gr .30 Carbine bullets. I haven't found any Trail Boss for sale, nor Red Dot for "The Load". I do have the above mentioned Titegroup, as well as Longshot. Hodgdon shows max loads of 10.5 gr Longshot or 8.0 gr...

    Starting Plan for Reloading... Sensible or Silly

    I find that a plastic Gatorade powder canister is perfect for storing a Lee turret with dies.

    Subsonic 7.62x54R

    Fair enough. I haven't tried it, and brought it up just on a lark. (But it seems that someone has taken it seriously enough to market the adapters.)

    Subsonic 7.62x54R

    Ballistics By The Inch tested four loads in .32ACP. The Cor-Bon 60gr. JHP reached supersonic speeds, but the other three stayed firmly subsonic out to an 18" barrel, at which point the speeds were dropping with increasing barrel length. http://ballisticsbytheinch.com/32auto.html

    Need some good spherical/ball powder recommendations!

    Well, now, that prompts a question. I ran out of H4895, and haven't seen it available for almost a year. But I did get a pound of A2520. Can that be used for reduced loads to the tune of 60% of max the way H4895 can, or does the resemblance just not go that far?

    2000 MR .308 Results

    You could try a chamber adapter to shoot .32ACP through it.

    Pressure signs - extractor shine

    Update - resolution Hodgdon's reloading website shows the recommended load of IMR4320 as 44.1 to 49.0 grains, with Winchester brass. I brought home 9 pieces of Winchester range pickup to compare with my PPU brass, by weighing how much A2520 fine-grained ball powder would fill them to the neck...

    Pressure signs - extractor shine

    After studying the cases, I have decided that MtnCreek is right, these are ejector marks. Their appearance changes with lighting and aperture (camera > eye), and I formed my impression while at the range, seeing trapezoidal shine marks rather than circular. (The extractor is trapezoidal.)...

    COAL to hit the rifling = 2.860". COAL I'm using = 2.820". Would it lower pressure to shorten to 2.800"?
