If you were to go to hodgdon,s web site there is a site entitled load data.Just pick the caliber first,then the bullet weight,then the powder maker,the site will show you the starting load in grains for the powder you choose and the max powder charge in grains also.Good luck!
First, for your safety please DO NOT solicit reloading data from anonymous sources on the internet. In wikianswers- anyone can answer a question- for all you know, I am 12 years old, and Mom does not know I am on the computer (I'm not- but that is beside the point) Hornady does not recommend IMR 3031 for the 160 gr FTX bullet in 30-30. This is a link to the Hornady reloading page for your caliber. PLEASE do not use reload data except that which is published by a powder company, a bullet maker, or manufacturer of reloading equipment. Safe shooting to you= C3. supervisor
I don't have specific reloading data for the Hornady 160 gr FTX bullets in .308 caliber. For accurate and safe reloading data, it's best to consult the official Hornady reloading manual or their website, as they provide detailed load recipes and safety information. Additionally, always cross-reference with reputable sources to ensure accuracy and safety in your reloading practices.
Yes, what powder are you using?
Google Alliant Powder on first page click on VIEW THE GUIDE there is the list for reloading.
Hornady publishes a relaoding book.
You will have to test fit to see if the cylinder will turn
With a heart, spine, or lung shot, a .35 Remington will kill an elk. Load it with 275 grain bullets. With leverevolution powder from Hornady, a .35 Remington is much more adequate than you need it for elk.
Hornady Handbook Of Cartridge Reloading
117 grain .257 diameter is a good all around choice for reloading. Factory ammo probably ranges from 117 to 120 grs. for that particular weight range of 25-06 ammo. Pointed tip [spitser] and boat-tail base will shoot the flattest...Hornady, Speer, Sierra, Nosler, Remington, Winchester, Barnes, etc. all offer bullets for reloading in .257 caliber. My two favorites are Sierra and Hornady but other makes are well liked also...reloading manuals are an invaluable aid to reload safely and accurately...good luck... I like 75 and 87 grain bullets for varmints and 100, 115, 117, 120 boat tail spire point for deer.
One can buy RCBS, Hornady, and Dillon reloading dies from the Reloading Dies website. They also sell more and the categories inclue add-ons, gaming, hunting, and recreation.
So long as the cartridge length will cycle, yes. In tubular magazines, it has been a long standing practice NOT to use pointed bullets, since the cartridge primer would be sitting on the point of the bullet below. Leverlution ammo has a plastic tip designed not to fire a primer. From Hornady's website- "Hornady, the leader in ballistic technology, brings you an innovation in ammunition performance featuring state of the industry elastomer Flex Tip Technology that is SAFE in your tubular magazine."
