Just sent the email. Hopefully we'll hear from them soon-ish.
Just a thought/theory, but it might not matter if it's far from the lands. It's a monometal bullet with a ton of bearing surface for its weight. That might work in your favour. If not I'm sure you know someone with a 30-30Not sure if hornady will have load data for that bullet in a 308w as it's designed for a 30-30--- also, it's probably going to be hard to get it near the lads with that ogive profile. Hopefully it works out and you can find an accurate load -- just one of the problems I've found when buying 2nds
Berger has data for 135 gr bullet... H4895 45 gr. And 10 or so more powder listings.Nobody? All I'm looking for is a safe starting load.
I hadn't thought about that. It may not be worth the trouble. More research,,Being that they are made for a 30-30 IRC, they have a lower velocity threshold for expansion. I'm keeping an eye on this post and let us know how they perform for you if decide to load them in your 308.
There are a few reasons why this projectile is less than ideal in the 308 but a low expansion velocity almost certainly isn't one of them, if anything I'd say that's a benefit. with lead free hunting bullets the lower the velocity at which you can expect expansion the better. The solid copper shanks dictates that the idea of driving them too fast is a non-concern.I hadn't thought about that. It may not be worth the trouble. More research,,
