    The 308 and 30-30 cases will be more forgiving in regards to powder position due to their smaller capacity than the 30-06. I've had excellent results in the 30-06 with AA5744 and H322 in addition to...

    I'm not shooting an FR-8, but 308 in a Ruger Gunsite Scout. In that you mention being recoil sensitive, I'll recommend the Lee C-312-155-2R or its TL sibling TLC-312-160-2R over 18-20gr 2400. This...

    I just bought a couple more. Both are .30cal spitzers listed for the 7.62x39, and both are casting nice, round boolits without sticking in the cavities.

    I think you did well. Load lighter boolits and shoot moderate loads for practice. I like the Lee 38-105-SWC, 356-120-TC, and 38-125-RF. Get some Federal Nyclads for carry.

    76mm is roughly 3", but I suspect you knew that.

    Are your plans for cast? That would be the inexpensive way to go, particularly since you can make the 150gr+ work at full throttle in that case.

    My Savage 1899 rebore to 38-55 loves the 375449 over 26gr Reloader 7, 28-30gr AA2015, or 30-32gr AA2200. I haven't tried 4198 or H322, but both should work.
