Hello Everyone,
I have some Accurate #3100 reloading powder that I originally bought for 45-70. The cartridges that I am shooting most these days with cast bullets are 38-55, 8mm Mauser and some 45-70. The old Accurate reloading book has very limited data for 3100 except for 45-70. Has anybody had any luck with 3100 in 8mm Mauser, 38-55 or 308 or 30-06?
The Accurate book lists some compressed loads for 8mm Mauser, with limited data for cast bullets. Can I safely back off the starting load so that I do not have to compress the powder? My most accurate 8mm loads are 11 or 12 gr of Red Dot, so I am not looking for super velocity, target shooting accuracy is the main objective here.
Thanks!
Joe S
