I think you will find this reference interesting. Lots of good information.

M1 Garand 308 and M1A 308 Loading Data Suggestions
https://bearblain.com/Service%20Rifle%20Loadings.html

Don't do that. You are asking the same questions that every first-time owner of a Garand is asking. I own 19 Garands, two being 308 Win, and four M1As. I learn something new almost every day. I...

DoctorBill,
It think it is being recommended that you research the posts on the CMP forum on reloading data for the M1A rifle, which is also a 308 Win. The following is an example of what you...

Please don't give up. We are mentoring a gentleman whose learning curve on the 308 Garand is straight up. This is an opportunity to help him get started and hopefully keep him from making a...

I see that you are looking at the data provided in the Lee 308 Win Die set. It does state that the maximum RL-15 load, for a minimum COAL of 2.700”, is 49.0 grains. Note that it does not specify...

I rcvd the LEE 3 die Pacesetter Die Set. In the Instructions included with the Dies,
LEE gives tables of Loading Information. I have 2.5 lbs of RELOADER 15, and that powder
is listed for 150 gr FMJ...

Using a 150 grain Sierra SP, Win 748 and 24" barrel, QL gives the following:

39.0 gn: 2389 fps, 30,001 psi
43.5 gn: 2651 fps, 40,413 psi

Using a 150 grain SP, Win 748 and 22" barrel, QL...

3. Some suggest dacron (spelling?) filler for reduced loads using handgun powders. Is there a rule of thumb as to how much to use?

I think the general rule is to use a filler when using powders...

I took a quick look at a 183 grain boolet, in a 308 Win, using QL and a 24-inch barrel.

With 25 grains RL-7, chamber pressure is approximately 19,800 psi. Muzzle pressure is approximately 4,610...

First of all, I want to thank everyone for the constructive feedback that I have received. This feedback is based on actual experience and is not taken lightly. If I ask questions, it is only to...

There have been two comments that questioned the boolit hardness of the rounds that I am using. I am not about to question the experiences of others. So there has to be something that I am missing....

At this point, I am just trying to develop a load for the SR-4756 powder that I picked up. I may have to check some other powders.

OK, thanks.

If you cast, NOE 460-350-RF

Not sure if you got the information that you were looking. I ran the powders and boolits through QuickLoad. To be clear, I am not recommending this loads. You should look at the projected chamber...

I have to agree. The SD is not really a factor at short ranges. However, the greater the target distance, the greater the potential effect of large SDs. The longer the time to the target the more...

Since I have an abundance of SR-4756 powder, I decided to see how it would function in 308 Win. I loaded rounds that varied in powder charge between 11.0 grains and 13.5 grains; varying each charge...

Thanks for the info.

I have searched the forums and this mold does not appear to be mentioned. I checked the Accurate website and do not see it listed. Does anyone have any information on this mold?

I ran a 218 gn RF boolit, with 6.0 gn RD, through QL; using a 6" barrel. Predicts 14,834 psi chamber pressure. 911 fps velocity.

Looks like a boolit in the 10-11 BNH range would suit your...

Thanks for the information everyone.

I think that would be great information to have available to us that would like to fine turn our rifles.

Based on the 50-yard data, I loaded 9.0 grain SR 4756 and 9.5 grain SR 4756 loads of 10 rounds each and tested them at 100 yards. Fired two 5-round groups of each load. The 9.0 grain loads averaged...
