can someone help me out with some load data out of the Berger book? i was given some 30 cal 168 grain vld hunting bullets to try in my 300 win mag. I really dont feel like buying the book just to try these out. Thanks
VHIT N165 Start load 73.5 grs. 2887 fps, Max Load 77.6 grs. 3047 fps, Reloader-22 Start load 73.5 2975 fps, Max Load 77.6 grs. 3145 fps. IMR 7828 SSC, Start load 74 grs. 2973 fps, Max Load 77.8 grs. 3145 fps, Norma MRP start load 74 grs. 2973 fps, Max load 78 grs. 3152 fps, Reloader-25 start load 75 grs. 2944 fps, Max load 78.9 grs, 3102 fps, AA Magpro start load 75.5 grs. 2889 fps, Max load 79.8 grs. 3072 fps, H1000 start 78.5 grs. 2947 fps, Max load 83.0 grs. 3144 fps, Ramshot Magnum, start load 79 grs. 2931 fps, Max load 83.4 grs, 3128 fps. Fill rate are from 98% to 103% depending on powder. 26" barrel, 1 - 13 twist. These load are from Berger manual 1st Edition for 300 Win. Mag. on page 761.
What I am short one is the primer they are using.
I would if I was you get their reloading manual. Some bullet manufactures use different powders, and you can go between them to see the difference.
