I'm looking for recommendations on powder loadings for some 168gr .308 incendiary rounds. I picked up 20 of these projectiles for reloading, but I'm not sure on the powder loadings to use. I plan on using IMR-4320 or IMR-4895.

Typically for my precision .308 hand loads I stick to what Lyman's has in their manuals, but I'm not sure if the same loadings apply to incendiary rounds or not.

Any suggestions?

Since you only have 20, and obviously don't want to waste them, I would take the closest bullet in shape and dimensions load data and load one each about mid way between starting charge and mid charge varying by  at least 1 grain..even 1.5 grains..2-3 rounds should get you to a decent velocity quickly with minimal round count...


Or find the closest bullet you can find to these in weight/shape/dimensions, buy a box of them to work a load up with, then reduce the load by 2-3 grains and load one of these and try it...
