That's encouraging accuracy. Do you find you can match a good 22lr for accuracy with these kinds of loads?

anyone use the 311008 much for the 7.62x39 with light loads. should work well. i'll try that soon.

roundball question,,,

tried using hornady ".310" roundball, but have a feeling that the non spherical flat surfaces may have a negative impact on accuracy and an impact of "loaded fine on sunday afternoon, but somehow lost neck tension and fell inside the case by Thursday"...

Ive seen OLD threads on here of guys with .308 and 30-06 driving 60 to 120 grain conical bullets at 700 fps with great success in the garden with low noise. Is the added cost of the conical bullet, and change in powder charge WORTH the effort

I don't use my gallery loads for game, just for fun at the range. Usually the bullets are rejects by weight from my more accurate loads, so the bullets are heavy compared to others on this thread. Recoil is like a .22lr and noise is much less as they are subsonic. Here is one of 8gn Blue Dot loads (sighting in).



Here are a bunch of other loads that some nice folks have tested.

Used #4 buck in a 243. I forget the powder and charge weight. It was a good squirrel load, I suppose it would have slain bunnies, too. never got that kind of accuracy, though. I was about 2" at 25 yards. Used 22 caliber pellets in primed brass, no powder in a 22-250. That WAS a LONG time ago.
