I've been playing around with some heavy boolits in my 308w and I'm wondering at what point does a charge became to light.
I've been reading about guns exploding from too light of charges by never found a real good rule to go by.
I have quick load and a chronograph so I can guess and verify pressure/velocity.
Two of my manuals have load data for a 225gr boolit (I'm using 230) and one up to 250 bullet, with h380 they are starting at a higher charge than I would like to but I don't want to blow anything up.
The listed starting load is 39.5gr of h380 but I would like to start at 34 do you guys think that would be safe? 39.5gr is over 2000fps seems a little fast to start of at.
