My Google-Fu is weak today.
I just got in an order of sabots to load up for my 308Win rifle. Unfortunately, all the load data I can find is for a 55gr bullet. I picked up some 50, 55 and 62gr bullets to use with this, and can't find any data. Since I'm still pretty new to handloading, I'm not confident with experimenting. I really don't want to blow up my gun or myself.
Specifics:
Gun=
Remington700 SPS Stainless, 24" barrel, 10" twist
Brass=
.308Win once fired Winchester Branded.
Bullets=
SS109 62gr FMJBT
Hornady 55gr FMJBT
Varmint Grenades 50gr
Powder= ???
I already have Varget and H4895 on hand. Will either of these work ok?
Ideas, suggestions, stories of past mistakes. All are welcome.
