any one reloading 308 rounds?
first i want to thank EVERYONE who helped me in getting started reloading. i just ordered my first reloader and now trying to figure out where i should start with a 308 round. i am shooting a savage model 12 in stainless. it will be used for coyotes out to 450yards and target practice.im trying to keep down on the pelt damage(without lowering the cal/) what bulletand powder should i be looking at and if any of you are shooting a savage. what are you finding that works good through it?also how many round on ave can i get out of a pound of powder?
thanks you Jeff S. |

More than likely your shots will be within 200 yards, so get some Speer 125 gr TNTs.

I recommend getting a Speer manual, and using their "REDUCED LOAD" recommendations, with the toughest, heavy, non-expanding (preferably round-nosed) bullet you can get in the caliber you are loading. Well, a pound of powder weighs 7000 grains. So divide 7000 by the grain weight of the powder charg you will be loading, and the result is the number of rounds that pound will load. |

Use the match kings as posted above and 4064 is cool , and if you are worried about pelt damage , go for head shots only , youdid say,you wanted to target practice with it !
