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.
