I’m looking to try and get to the 2300-2400fps area with my howa 308 using the Mihec 308 hunter bullet weighing 160gr.
I’ve got my brass prepped and now I’m to the part of picking a powder. I don’t have any 4831 that Waco is currently using so I figured I would try a different route for now.
The slowest rifle powders that I currently have are Hodgdon superformance (which has been useless so far in my testing with jacketed) IMR 4350, win 748 and win 760.
I can’t find any load data for any of these powders in 308. Anyone have any recommendations?
Or do I need to make a run to the gun shop and pick up a slower powder?
My plan is to load a ladder test to get an idea of the velocity I’m working with before loading up a lot of test rounds.
