I’m a brand new reloader. Last week I reloaded some 308 following the hornady handbook. I did everything by the book, double/triple checked everything. My 223 reloads shot fantastic the 308 not so much.
I got a Speer manual between now and then and also found the hodgden website that list load data.
In the 308 I started with a light load and it’s not even considered a minimum load in the Speer or hodgden data. There mid to higher pressure loads are listed as unsafe in the hornady manual. Just thought this was a bit odd and if this is a normal finding? Now I’m considering getting the Lyman manual to compare.
I’m using Varget powder with 150 gr hornady SST bullet.
Thanks
