[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 308 nato load data request.

Posted: 1/30/2012 6:07:25 PM EDT

I am loading up some 308 NATO using IMR-4064. This is the first time using 4064. I have load data from IMR but was looking to get a comparison from Hornady for the 150grn interbond. I found a discrepancy in max loads between two different bullets in the same weight. I dont have my data at the moment but it was a pretty big charge difference.

Use 308 Win data as they are the same and pressures are the same.

IIRC that 7.62 NATO is loaded to lower pressures than .308 win. commercial ammo.

7.62mm NATO brass needs a 2.0 grain reduction in powder compared to reloads developed in Winchester brass. Start around 41.0 grains, don't go over 43.0/44.0 grains with 150 grain bullets.
