Sierra Bullet Handload Data?
« on: November 29, 2016, 07:08:56 AM »
I've googled and can't seem to come up with good data. I have some old boxes of .30 cal. .308 DIA in 165 rg spitzer boat tail #2145 and 150 gr. spitzer #2130. Any links that would help would be great.

I like the Nosler online data. No, it's not for Sierra bullets, but that won't be a problem if you're starting below the max charge and working your way up, as you should be doing anyway.

What cartridge, too?  Assuming .308 Win, I have a Loadbooks for it that has more data than you'd ever want.

I've got a lot of different powders, what's the most accurate load tested? Unless your book doesn't give that info like my nosler book. Yes I'm loading for my DPMS 308.

I'm using 53 gn of H414 and the 2130 pro hunters in a 30-06.Not a barn burner but Accurite for hunting.
Don't believe everything you think.
