[QUOTE="Scott E Ames, post: 2535740, member: 60439"] That sure does [B]not[/B] seem like the right powder for this job. it will be compressed for your starting load and nowhere to increase the load if needed. Hodgdon's does [B]not[/B] even show H-380 as an option for that cartridge/bullet combo on their website. Varget, H 4895, IMR 4064 and IMR 8208 XBR are all good options and I have had good results with all of these over the years. The Hodgdon's reloading data is free online. Go there and get some ideas. I think you will find that H-380 is really a bit too slow for your purposes. I would also start by weighing your various brass to give you and idea of how much to adjust your charges down for military brass(7.62 NATO). [/QUOTE]
