Howdy, just got my first batch of 155 gr 308 gc boolits casted. I lubed them up with lee allox. I have prepped my LCD brass and primed with cci large rifle standard. Now the hard part... After thread searching and Internet searching, I am lost on how to load these with the powder i have. I have wc844 powder( a lot!), vhintn140(a tiny bit), and power pistol. These boolits have hornady gas checks, so I know I can shoot them a tad faster, but still not sure. I appologize if this is old news and I couldn't find it on here. Any advice will be much appreciated. I am shooting out of a vepr 308 20".

On a side note I am about to purchase the noe 311 198 gr sp gc mould. Any lids on that mould would be appreciated also. Is the now 311 247 gr gc mould boolit make a good 308 round?

WC844 Cross reference loading data for H335
WC844 is a non canister powder so back off the loads about 15% and work up
i use it in my 30-30 so their should be a load for .308

start with the low end H335 reload data for 155gr jacketed bullets, work your way up.

make sure your boolits fit, or you'll get leading.
