M2 AP loaded into 308

[Juno2k]

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?

What grain are they?

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.
I googled M2 AP and a couple of articles came up on using them in .308. I would look for a bullet thats as close to the same length which will most likely be a heavier grain bullet and start there. I'm sure someone here (probably Wes) has experience with these.

Here's this I found. Looks like M1 .308 load data for a heavier bullet will work.

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

Here's load data from the Hornady book for the M1.

If have android phone. They have few apps. In think called "playstore". Where you get apps at. Many are free. I know android has these load apps. Apple has some but what i hear they charge for apps.or didnt have cant recall. But android users i know for fact free. Several diffant app to do with reloading. Even bench ideals etc

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 economical
