Need info from Sierra reloading manual!

Hey all! I don't have a Sierra reloading manual, should probably get one :o, and I need some info from it. What does Sierra have for a printed COAL for Sierra bullet #2125, .308" 150 gr. SBT, for 30-06? I'm going to try the SAAMI seating depth for this bullet and see if things get better. Thanks!

Michael: Sierra lists the C.O.A.L. of the # 2125 at 3.225". That's from the Sierra #V load manual. Any more info, just ask, Mike. ;)
You can probably find additional info online. ;D
 
Thanks Mikie, I appreciate the prompt response! You mentioned finding info online. Is there a Sierra manual online and does it require adobe acrobat to read it? I have snail slow landline internet so downloading manuals, or programs to read them, it near impossible. Thanks again!

Mike
 
Michael: It's called "Dialup" and I live with it daily. ::) Better than nothing I guess. :(
A while back I wrote (email) to Sierra looking for 6.8 SPC bolt gun info they really helped. They got right back to me with the info I was looking for.
You'll need to do some digging. It's sloooow but better than nothing. ;) I'll back you up if needed, Mike.
 
Mikie, thanks again for the help and the "dialup" internet is really frustrating. Hopefully someday they'll get highspeed at an affordable price out here in the sticks ;)!

37Lincoln1, I appreciate the link to the data but, I don't have adobe acrobat reader to view pdf files. Thanks anyways!

Mike, the seating depth in the Sierra manual (and just about all others) is basedon standard magazine lengths. SAAMI doesn't specify seating depths because it's standardization mission is based on chambers and cases. Although there are SAAMI standards for pressure and velocity for various weight bullets in each cartridge, seating depth is left to the manufacturer's discretion. For instance, for the .30-06 with a 150 gr. bullet, SAAMI standard is 2900 fps at 50,000 CUP.

The SAAMI manual can be downloaded from the SAAMI website and has lots of very useful reading.

German, thanks for your input. If anyone knows about the 30-06 it is you. Guess I mispoke when I used SAAMI as a term for C.O.A.L. I'll have to take a look at the website you referred me to! Thanks again!

Appreciate the help guys! Its going to be a while before I get to shoot again, old man winter is here in S.W. Michigan and doesn't show any signs of leaving any time soon. Its hard to do load development when you can't feel your fingers lol! However, the ice is getting right to do some ice fishing :)! Thanks again all!
