I needed a new container of 2400 , so I got one out of the BACK of my powder closet
All the way in the back was a unopened 4 Lb Blue Dot and another 4 Lb container with over 3 lbs in it
I used to use it for 3" 1 5/8 oz lead reloads HIGH Velocity , HIGH Pressure using a CSD steel shot wad
These were insane loads to be ONLY used in a 3 1/2" 12 gauge 870 for REALLY LONG Range trap shooting games
I somewhere have load data for 223 , 30-30 , 308 and other rifle rounds I downloaded off the internet
Might have been on Steve's Pages 20 or so years ago
But I want to keep it simple
I have a bunch of the LEE 150 gr GC Flat nose bullets cast bullet I want to use up
I "Think" cast from WW's in about 1999 or 2000
CCI LR primers , PMC cases
What would a good powder charge for that bullet in the 308 Winchester at 1500 to 1600 FPS ?
I have a electronic auto powder measure
So I will be weighing out the powder
Thanks
John
