M100, 308 Pet Load?
Anyone have a pet load for their M100?

I am thinking of using Hornady 150 gr. Interlocks, but any loads would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Jim

hornady 150 I-lock
and 42 grs 4895.
it's always put the first two touching and the third about 3/4" away.
the 4895 is also easy on the gas system.

I am assuming that is a typo? I have never heard of 6064? Maybe 4064?

If not, please give me some more info. I want to baby ours also. Thanks.

That is what I was looking for.

I was thinking of trying 4895.

Thanks for the load.

Very interesting. I use 3031 in our .32 94's.

Never would have guessed to try it in the M100.

So you used it when it was new, how about now?

Thanks for the load.

New was 1965! Now I have moved on a bit since then and the nephew runs Factory Remington Walmart ammunition through it.
