Loading 210 grain subs.. new guy problems

Post by ShippWrekk »

So, I ordered 300ct Nosler 210 grain RNBT .308 bullets. My Lyman manual arrived a day or two later, which is when I discovered there isn't any load data for 300 BLK and this particular bullet.
I received advice to apply the Hornady 208 grain A-max data, which calls for 11.5 grains of powder. I am using the Hodgdon CFE BLK powder. I precisely loaded 20rds with 11.5 grains, at an OAL of 2.260". I planned on firing them off tomorrow, until I realized these bullets are just too long. Am I screwed? I have 300 of these bullets and I'd really like to get some safe data so I can shoot em and get myself on the right track with the proper bullets. Thanks in advance, I really need some help here.

Umm...have ya bothered to even do a search? Maybe for Nosler load data?

Or is that too hard?

Maybe you could plunk the rounds in your barrel? Maybe run them through your magazine?

Dude, yes I damn sure did and found nothing. Like I said in the original post, the manual showed up after I purchased these bullets. I was under the impression (as a rookie) that as long as the diameter and weight was within a certain range, you could apply the proper amount of powder and send the mfker down range. I was wrong, but now I have all these bullets and would rather shoot them for fun than sell them, before settling with the correct load process of a 200 or 220 grain bullet.

Are you sure they are 210 gr? I see a 220 gr round nose ballistic tip.
