39.0? My source said 39.5, the rest is correct.
Quick load question, 41.2gr 3031, 168 hpbt
Can someone with quick load run a quicky for me? Socom M1A, LC case, 34 primer. 2.8 oal, 41.2gr imr3031 under a 168gr sierra hpbt.
This load shoots terrific in my new 308AR (better than FGMM), adjustable gas block. 16" barrel. Comes up only 30fps shy of FGMM in the same gun. I have 42gr of 3031 listed as max in 2 different places, Lyman and IMR.
Whats the possibility of this being ok to run in the SOCOM?

Ahhhhh. 30.5 ?I have more experience with 4895 -
But, for 3031 - 30.5 with LC Cases and Sierra 168, Fed 210M --- was the go to load
Yes, IMR-3031 is the quickest powder that's usable in our rifles. For newb's like you IMR-4064 is the slowest with IMR/H-4895 is about in the middle.So 3031 is a faster powder than say 4895 or 4064? I was told by everyone that 40.0 gr. of 4895 was too little powder.
Newbie reloader here. DI5
I was busting Doc's chops because he fat fingered his load data, Yes 40.0grs of IMR/H-4895 under a 168 is a light load. Stick with 41.5grs of the 4895's under a 168 and your good too go.
My Dad say's, getting old isn't for the weak...Getting older doesn't help....
If it passes the smell test 42.grs under a 168/175 COAL 2.82 in a LC case is the gold standard. If it fails the smell test and you will know that rancid smell, off too the flower bed.I don't have any 3031 here but did find a can of 4064 with a $10.00 tag on it...
Still good?
