Hello everyone. I am looking to make reduced loads for my M-48A, using the Lee 170g RN with gas checks. I've been reading through the posts relating to reduced loads and find a lot of great info for loads using 3031, 2400, Red Dot, etc., but I don't have any of those powders on hand. What I do have is Green Dot, 700x, IMR 4350 and 4064. Am looking to load up inexpensive practice loads for 100- and 200-yards (longest distance available at our range). Just looking for starting loads with the powders I have and any experiences that you want to share. Thanks, 8mmFan.
P.S. Was surprised at how far out I have to seat this bullet to be just off the lands in this rifle. Will have to seat it far off the lands just to have at least a bullet-width's amount of the bullet back in the case neck.
