Has anyone worked up any loads using 110 grain bullets in the .308 Bellm, if so what were your loads and how did they perform. As usual, all disclaimers and cautions will apply.

Thanks

I did some with 110 Grain v max's I don't have any of the data around for some reason I can't find it. I don't think I threw it away. As I remember the accuracy was around 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" at 100 yards. Sorry I don't even remember what powder I tried. Bob (Mranch) did some if he sees this thread I'm sure he'll jump in.

Darn It!!! I was going to post the data last night and forgot! I'll do it tonight for sure!!

I tried 110gr Hornady SP's with several mid 40grain loads of w748 and found 46gr to be very accurate. I didn't have a chronograph but I'm sure its no fast load but was getting sub moa groups consistently. Load density was pretty low but like I said, accuracy was consistent. If I remember it seems like it was out of an old hornady manual as a 300 savage laod. There probably are better powders for this light bullet thou.

if you find any that work well for you, please post them,

Good Luck

Ok guys here it is,

My first try with 110gr Sierra's, #2110

Rem Brass

CCI-200 Primers

H4895 Powder

COL, .005 off rifling, 2.801

All Averages are 5 shot averages.

42grs. 2337fps

43grs. 2406fps

44grs. 2454fps

45grs. 2476fps

46grs. 2520fps

46.5grs.2574fps

I don't have any targets for these loads so I don't know about the accuracy, sorry!



The next load I tried, and yes I have some targets from this load, is Sierra's 110gr #2110

Rem Brass

CCI Primers

H-322 Powder

COL, 2.803

All of these Averages are 5 shot except the 42gr. load. It was a 3 shot average.

39grs 2404fps Group size 1.508 outside to outside

40grs 2471fps " " 1.375 " " "

41grs 2529fps " " 0.883 " " "

42grs 2590fps " " 0.637 " " "



This is where I quite working with the 110gr bullets. I still need to get back to them and play around with the 42gr load a little more! This should be one heck of a varmint round



One more note: I did all this before I worked up a RED-LINE load with Don Shearers Spring-Back Test. All of the loads I shot were safe in MY barrel. When I get back to the 110's I now have a RED-LINE to go by. I could possible even go a little higher. I won't know until I shoot some more of the 110's.

As always, start your loads low and work up to a Max. Load for YOUR barrel.



Let me know if you come up with any other loads!! I'll do the same!
