Re: accurate 11fs
On another note, the other difference in the 2 loads above is the Hodgdon load uses Hornady Brass case and Accurate uses a Remington case. I, like you, uses Starline Brass. And a new Starline case weighs an average of 92.1 Grains. A new Hornady case weighs 81.1 grains, a full 11 grains lighter. To ...

Re: Vectan powder
Not familiar with Vectan powders, so cannot give you any first-hand experience. But the latest version of QuickLoad does not have SP3 in its database. Nor does the Vectan Load PDF from Grafs ( https://www.grafs.com/uploads/technical-resource-pdf-file/20.pdf ). Any chance they renamed it? QuickLoad s...

Re: Most accurate single stage press - and why?
I'd add my vote to the consensus that most of the presses out there can build ammo of sufficient quality that the skill of the man wielding the rifle becomes the biggest hurdle. And I'd agree with dellet that dies usually matter more. Extending that thought (about dies)... I think having the tools t...

Re: Case dimensions outside SAAMI minimums-what's the risk?
It's not likely you'll have any particular extraction issues. Upon firing, your short-headspace rounds will expand once again to match your rifle's chamber dimensions... and then will spring back a bit. Assuming the rounds ignite at all - note dellet's comment - the first risk you face is a bullet b...

Re: Gorilla Barnes Bonded Soft Point
No experience with it. But if you're going to use it for hunting my first question would be about the bullet. Many .308 bullets "fit" the 300 Blackout, of course. But most of those were designed for the faster velocity .308 Win and .30-06 cartridges, and may perform poorly when used in the...

Re: Hornady manual
Yes... except that the powder manufacturers will naturally present their data from the perspective of their own powders. If you're looking for a broad overview of different powders, by different manufacturers, you won't find it there. Most of us start with a bullet. A particular projectile. We then ...

Re: Hornady manual
Load manuals from the bullet manufacturers - Hornady, Speer, Sierra, Nosler, Berger, etc. - typically only list load information for their own projectiles. And so, yeah, those of us who do this much tend to end up with a whole lot of different manuals. And, sure, you can compare same-weight bullets ...

Re: Berry's 220gr Subsonic load workup using SR4756
Well, here's a rough snapshot of what Herco looks like. Berry's Bullets are also not in the Quickload database, but their website shows the 220 gr. .308 bullet (SKU #21019) as 1.350" in length. Using Nosler's 220 gr. Semi-Spitzer as a starting analog, but then modifying the bullet length to mat...

Re: Berry's 220gr Subsonic load workup using SR4756
Alas, Quickload doesn't have SR-4756 in its database. Probably because that powder was discontinued in late 2014. My "One Book/One Caliber" compilation of 300 Blackout load data also doesn't have any reference to that powder, probably, again, because the powder was discontinued shortly aft...
