So I just ordered 1000 147gn fmj-bt projectiles from surplus ammo (armscore) I was looking through my reloading manuals and couldn't find any info on these for 300 aac. I have the Speer
15th book, Hornady 10th book and Lyman 50th book and all of them have 150gr projectiles in there. Hornady and Lyman both offer a fmj-bt but Speer only has the gold dot and soft point projectiles to choose from. I hate assuming when it comes to reloading as I don't want to blow myself up, but would it be safe to use these data references for the 147gn?
I use H110 powder
WSR primers
Trim length of 1.365
Shooting out of a 8inch barrel with a 1:8 twist.
The Hornady book for 150gn fmj-bt calls for:
12.3gn-15.9gn of H110 with 15.9 being max load.
The Lyman book calls for:
14.5gn - 16.2gn of H110 with 16.2 being max load.
Both books are for the exact same projectile.
If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.
