John Chalmers.308 data.
Hi Folks, A mate of mine is looking for a starting load for his CZ550,in.308,can you help?
His powder is H4350, 130grn Hornady SP. I don't know if there is a recipe for this combination.Many thanks jc
The Hodgdon website doesn't list any H4350 loads for that light of a bullet.

John ChalmersThanks Frank, that figures. Wonder what QL would spit out? jc
Yes, that is a very slow powder for a 308, so if that is all you have, you can fill it up with powder and live with the slow velocities.

SR47594350 and the light 130 grain bullet is a bad combo in the 308. You will get low pressure, low velocity and a lot of unburned powder in the bore.
