Barnes reloading data 308 Win and 30/06
Hello,
can anybody look up for me the Barnes Manual
loads for 30/06 and 308 Win?

I like to load the 150 gr Xlc BT
I ve got Kemira N135 powder (308 Win)

Further I like to load the 165 gr XLC BT
with Accurate 4350 powder (30/06)

In the barnes correction list i ve only found
the page for 180 gr bullets.

Thanks for your help.

P.S.
I can not understand why Barnes does not offer
some data for free.
The bullets are expensive enough.

Sorry, they don't list those powders for the bullets want to load.

For the 30/06 they list XMR 4350 at 58.0gr max, H4350 60.0gr max and IMR4350 at 59.5gr max.

For the 308 150grXLC they recommend using BL-C(2) and IMR4064.

For the 30/06 165gr. they recommend using Varget, IMR 4064 and VIT N160.

I'll be happy to look up any other powders for those bullets if you wish. [Big Grin]
