So I picked up some old M2 AP projectiles at a show recently, but I am having a bear of a time finding any load data for them. Anyone have any experience loading them into a 308 with Either BLC-2 or Varget?

I know when I played around with the SS109's (62gr) for .223 it was recommend to use 68-69gr load data due to the bullet length.Quote:

Here's this I found. Looks like M1 .308 load data for a heavier bullet will work.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...86c5e652b7.jpg

Also you better check them with a micrometer. Some of the old projectiles from the military were .311.

I ave a copy of quickload on my pc, I have already run the various powder calculations for the powders I have with that particular projectile so I know what the calculated data says, I specifically asked if anyone had experience with those two powders because the data only goes so far and at 1-2$ a projectile loading a bunch of test loads is not economicalQuote:

I see the internet lawyers that speak out of ignorance have made it over to the forums.Quote:

Yet your sitting here saying that something is illegal when it is in fact perfectly legal, further more you clearly know absolutely nothing about the 308 cartridge as there are projectiles that are actually longer than the 165gr black tip.Quote:
