    Uscra112, I am lucky. Gonna try to grab some more today, as they had a two lb limit. Will reducing the load that much be safe? Similar weight jacked bullets run about 40 grains for starting. I have...

    Also, do you know what reloading manual might have h380 in it? I have been using lyman's little handbooks for 308 and 357 but thought I should see if anyone knows (off the top of your head) where you...

    Need advice on powders for 308

    So, with the lack of powder out there, I am starting to look at what I can expand into. I have a Marlin Xs7 308 (1 in 12, 22 inch). I use the Lee C309-170-FN, ACWW + 2% tin, water dropped and gas...

    Thanks for responding Larry!

    So, for my edification, the 2% tin is by weight and in relation the the pre-lead COWW mix, i.e:

    OK, so I am getting that I should be looking at water quenched 70/30 pb/ww +1% tin, or 50/50 +1% tin for a hunting boolit, as they will be softer and expand better at 1800-2100 fps than WQWW +1% tin....

    I had not even looked into these yet.

    I am going to be using the lee loader for the 308, would I need a single stage press to use the FCD, or would it work in the lee loader setup?
