I think they use a proprietary powder made to their specs. With burn rate somewhere in between IMR 4064 and 4895. muck | |||

If I was trying to duplicate their loads, I'd probably start with one of the two above mentioned powders. Actually I'd probably start with both, and see what my rifle liked. | |||

I have had great results with IMR 8208 in my 308 with 150 grain Accubonds. Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

I get a very good duplicate load with: 44.0 grains of IMR 4064 with 30 cal. Nosler J4 or SMK 168 gr. I use FGMM Lg rifle primers. --------------------------------- We unfortunately will vote our way into socialism. The end result will be having to shoot our way out of it. | |||
