Alrighty, Had some very promising result today with my mosin PU sniper using a gas checked 314299 NOE 200 grain sized to .313, fed standard primer, PPU case and 20 grain AA 5744.
According Lyman's 49th they state the 314299 using 5744 is 20 grain as a start load, but i noticed the pressure was plenty high; the bolt lift started to get heavy. (tried same boolit with 20 grain 4759 and bolt opened effortlessly).
Anybody know if i can go lower to say 18 grain, or am i then at risk of detonation or other unpleasant experiences using AA5744?
I Also want to try 5744 in a 308 winchester using a gas checked laser cast 165 rnfp sized to .309; anyone know the starting / minimum load for that one?
Thanks!
