Hi folks. I am relatively new to reloading, and to this forum. Any assistance you provide will be greatly appreciated.
I intend this thread to be educational above all else. I am a teacher, so understanding both the art and science of reloading is important and exciting.
Questions: Can H4831SC be used to reload .308 Winchester? Why/Why Not? Suggested load-data? Suggested reading/websites?
I will generally be using 150 or 180 grain Remington soft points (for targets and "plinking"). Occasionally 150 grain Nosler Ballistic tips (green) for hunting. The ammunition is for a LR-308 with a 24" bull-barrel. I normally use Win. 748 or 760 to reload .308. However, I have a R700 in 300Winmag, and a 1lb can of H4831SC. I'm affraid the powder will go bad before I shoot that much 300wm. Both 748 and 760 have been hard to come by recently.
The "why/why not" is not meant as a challenge to your expertise, but an attempt to gleen some knowledge from it. Again, thanks for passing-on your expertise and assistance.
