    Greetings, Hodgdon listed a load for the .308 with the Hornady 190 grain Sub X projectile and 13.3 grains of H4895/ AR2206H for 1,044 fps. I would not try that with a lighter projectile. I used a...

    Greetings Again, Cold and windy today (old age pensioners are sensitive to this) so I dug out the article mentioned above which appeared in 1987. The cartridge was the .240 Gibbs. This is the .25-06...

    astridhunterchch liked post by grandpamac On thread : 6.5 x 55 Arch Improved Load Data
    Depending on the projectile weight you are using IMR4350 and IMR4831 should work well if you can get any. I would not trust any old data as the pressures may be stratospheric. Data for the parent...

    For me, as a card carrying old fudd, my preference would be for a 2.5 or 3 fixed power scope. I was glad to see some others had plumped for these. If you are the sort of hunter that leaves your scope...
