Does anyone have reloading data for a 308 with a hornady 168 BTHP bullet using wc 749 powder

Sodbuster 49, I cut and pasted the data below from hodgdonreloding.com. But let me caution that someone else's date may not be right or safe for your gun. Standard procedure is to consult one, or preferably several, reloading manuals and work up from minimum loads.

I've never heard of WC 749; is it a new surplus powder on the market? WC 844, WC 846, WC852, WC860, WC 867, and WC872 are the ones I'm aware of offhand, although I'm sure there are others. But 749 is not a familiar number to me in these powders.

IF you mean Winchester 748 and the Hornady 168 grain bullet, I can find no one that recommends it. Nosler does not for their 168 grain and even Hodgdon that distributes 748 does not show listings for it with 168 grain bullets in the 308.

W-748 From 38.0 grains to 48.6 grains

Not trying to be a dick, but be careful what you post.
I would enjoy seeing someone shoot 42 gains of titegroup out of a 308, but they would need to be in laws.
That would be a stick of dynamite

It is WC 749 on the powder container & its is surplus powder. 243winxb ; you said WC 748 is that supposed to be the same as the WC 749. THANKS

nobody said that WC 749 is the same as Winchester 748. Surplus powder is lot to lot and whatever you load is on you friend. You might find happiness with working up with WC 749 and you might not.
