    Hodgeton Universal powder in cast rifle loads

    what is the min-max range in loads for 308 with 160-180 gr cast loads?

    Currently 9.3 grs is a very accurate load for Lee C312 185 cast bullet in my .308. How high can I go?

    Published data is scarce.

    I'd bet you can find plenty of loads using Unique, and as far as I am able to tell with my lots of powder Unique and Universal are interchangeable. I have happily shot a fair number of rounds using a 180 grain flat nose using 15 grains of Unique, which I remember as being satisfactorily zippy.
