Promising results Titegroup in 308

[380AUTO]

Hello,

I love shooting “popcorn loads” in my centerfire rifles. My favorite load 10 grains unique has had me covered for years now. Unfortunately unique is getting harder to find here and also more expensive. Having about 20 pounds of Titegroup got me wondering if maybe it could be used instead of my old time favorite load.

All dies used were made by Lee (love there dies) used my neck sizer followed by a universal case expander die to prep the brass. Loaded a PB 311041 copy under 8.9 grains of Titegroup and finally applied a light crimp using my Lee FCD.

And here are the results at 50 yards. Will load up some more and go out further but so far looking pretty promising.

I worked up cat sneeze or mouse fart loads in my 30-06 and 30-30 using TG. Cant remember the charge in the 30-06 but the 30-30 I got down to 3.5 gr and they were still clearing the barrel. Still working on those a little more before I start chronoing and working shot group. BTW the cast boolits were approx 170 gr and PC in both. Next attempt will be 150gr cast boolits in the 30-30.

Love Tite group in light plinkers!

I believe (citation lacking but I have read it somewhere so take it with a basketball sized grain of salt) hodgdon advertises this as capable of low density loadings as it is not position sensitive

I've had as low as 3.8 grains under the Lee 90 grain 312 swc powder coated for 300 blk. (Bolt gun) - accurate enough to cut saplings in half at 50 yards....giggle factor is high too. So much fun! Hearing safe-ish....like a 22 lr

Also put it in 303 under that same bullet...I plan to work up some accurate loads for 30 06 too...with a light loading of that, 8lb will last you a loooooooooooong time. Just bought some from Graf's for 139 I think...

I don't know if they advertise it or not, but I use their website for load data pretty frequently, and nearly every bullet has some sort of Titegroup load for it.

Tite group is an awesome powder for a lot of loads.

Here's a recent 100 yard group with the C309-170-F with a Vulcan Aluminum gas check and 13.3g Titegroup in mixed brass out of a nearly 40 year old Remington 788 in .308



Titegroup is a great powder for low recoil loads. I can get good subsonic groups with the C309-200-R and Red Dot. I should probably see if I can do the same with Titegroup.

This is at 50 yards.

In my sks I loaded 2.5gr tg under a 311-90 at 930fps have yet to test accuracy but even at 1.5gr it went down range you could watch it go down the range if u keep both eyes open
