Where can I find/need load data for 2 CBE 303 moulds.

[rno172]

I have a 318-240GC and a 315-215GC. I haven't been able to find any good starting point for loading these in my 303 enfields. Also the file that I had which an Aussie listed his pet loads died with the last computer. Any place I can start?

Google can be your friend! I do try to cross check, not take a single source as gospel.

I have the CBE 314 220 and 313 215. For a Mk VI duplicate load I burn 41gr H4350 under the 314 220 for 2000fps. For a target load I burn 13.8gr of 2400 under the 313 215 for just shy of 1400fps.

I also have the 316 175 and over a load of 47gr of H4350 I clock 2370fps and very good accuracy with heat treated WW. This load is almost a duplicate of the Mk VII ammo.

Welcome RNO - nice to see someone who is not wasting electrons and needlessly increasing their post count! You joined in 2012 and have one post!

Unfortunately the Lyman 4th Ed does not have any loads that heavy, going to 200grains. The Lyamn 3rd does have this for a 210grain load although it is quite slow, using Unique. I use Universal(AP70N) in place of Unique although you will find Unique sometimes here.

However one approach I have used is the 60% reduction rule from Hodgdon which they state can be used with any jacketed load for H4895 (AR2206). This is the ADI data for the 215grain jacketed:

And so if you have some AR2206 you can use this load and reduce by up to 60%, depending on what velocity and thump you are after (you don't state what the load is for in your first post).

Of course you can always use Trail Boss with their 70% rule although again velocities will be low so it depends what the role of the loads are.

PS Jeff doesn't spell it out and perhaps you know but H4350 is AR2209.

I have the 315-190N(Accurate) and it is very accurate over 17.3gn Blue Dot for 1750fps, The same load has worked just as well with the 316-175 CBE. Playing with H335 and IMR 3031 with different alloy for performance in the 2150-2300fps range.
