Greetings all,
I recently got a bunch of 152 gr controlled chaos bullets and am loading them into .308 winchester.
Looking at my lyman manual the load data suggests a powder charge range of about 42 to 47 grains.
I loaded a few at 43.5 gr of the 4064, thinking it should be a decent middle ground. It did however compress the charge a bit, and having loaded for 175gr previously, I've not noticed that before.
So the question is, how does 4064 react to compression? I'm seeing a lot of max loads in the manual are compressed. Is it a non issue for this powder?
How does one even fit 48gr of 4064 in a .308 case? (Max for 150gr bullets)
Thanks for sagely advice in advance
