I have a posting tip.

Lehigh has load data on their website for 16" and SBR loads.
Lehigh load data ETA: Oops. Just reread your post. I will post some 1680 data when I get home. Might be a few days. Sorry. |

Hello. I'm new to the reloading forum so please forgive me if I ask stupid questions. I am looking for reloading data for the 300 BLK using Lehigh Defense ME 194 g bullets. I found what Lehigh Defense has on their site, but I was hoping to use AA 1680 powder. It is not listed in their load data. I've been using the 1680 with 220g bullets. I figured it would work with the 194. Anyways......any help or suggestions are appreciated. swampie OP, Go here: http://www.lehighdefense.com/pages/resouces#pdf. Load data for the LEHIGH 194GR. ME using AA1680 is in this "LOAD DATA" section under: 01308194LP - 300 Blackout/Whisper 194gr, Maximum Expansion, 16" Barrel Posted on 06 Jun 06:57 |

I think they have the "Starting" and "Max" labels reversed
Good luck! I've just started working with my 300blk. I'm using Maker Bullet's 200gr REX 2. I've been really impressed with the groups so far. I'm getting 0.88"-1.02" 5 shot groups@ 75yds out of a 16" Remington 700 SPS Tactical 300blk. I'm anxious to see how it performs on Does! |

It is confusing because it is a subsonic load. Start high and work your way down to your subsonic velocity.. |

So what they're saying is the "max" load is the lowest you should go to ensure no stuck projectiles? |

So what they're saying is the "max" load is the lowest you should go to ensure no stuck projectiles? The data they post is a good upper end velocity that gets you close to the subsonic velocity that you want so you avoid the sonic crack. It helps to have a chronograph to work subsonic loads. Excessive pressures are not so much a concern in this case. The starting load they give will insure that you do not exceed pressures with a heavy bullet with the idea being that you work down to get the velocity you want that is subsonic. For the Lehigh I look for something around a 1,050 fps. Temperature will help you calculate what the speed of sound is for your situation. Or, to be sure you stay subsonic, you can develop a load that will stay subsonic in low temperatures. Speed of sound calculator |

I'm loading these to shoot from an 8.5" barrel.
Is it ok to go slightly above max load in order to keep my velocity near 1050 fps? My chrony died thanks, swampie |

I started low (10 grains of 1680) with the maker 200 grain bullet and worked up. 10.5 grains of 1680 puts me right over 1,000 velocity with under MOA accuracy at 50 yards. |
