Hi-
I came by some 150 grain steelcore bullets at a gunshow last year, and finally have time to do some loading. I'm a faithful Varget user. I weighed out the bullets and they are coming in at 146-147. Hodgon gives a max load at 47 grains of powder and a speed of 2937 which is smoking fast for .308, that is faster than many commerical 30/06 loads which to me is awesome since so many people 'think' the '06 is so much more. I will be shooting this out of a 26'' barrel remington 700P into an old junk car. I imagine it will penetrate anything. Will my gun survive?
