Hi all, I am a newbie to the reloading and I have a couple questions on the COL of a 30-06. I bought a Hornady handbook and in this book it tells me that the COL on a 150 gr. SST is 3.23. It also tells me that the COL on a 150 gr. BTSP is the same. The SST is a balistic tip and quite pointed where the BTSP is not a round nose but is a bit rounded over. My 1st question is: Is this enough to matter? I would think that they are different bullets and the COL should be different as well. Also in my research on the web I see alot of forums stating the COL of a 30-06 should be 3.34 max. That seems like a big difference to me from whats in this book.
I am wanting to load these SST's to the SAAMT standard because I am going to shoot them in a semi-auto rifle and from what I read I can't load them to 0.20 from the lands as I can with my bolt action. My 2nd question: Do any of you have a different book that has another COL for this bullet?
Thanks
Steve
