308 win and IMR 4064
« on: January 25, 2004, 04:55:36 PM »
I am looking for info on reloading the 308 winchester with nosler 165gr ballistic tips with IMR4064 powder. Is this a good powder for the 308 in general or would something like H4831 be a better powder for this particular cartridge?

IMR-4064 From 36.1 grains to 46.0 grains
 Remington 9-1/2 Primer

H-4831 From 46.0 grains to 50.0 grains
 Remington 9-1/2 Primer

but you might want to try:
N-550 From 40.7 grains to 48.9 grains
 Remington 9-1/2 Primer

Check any good loading manual, but I think you will be quite satisfied with 4064.  4831 is generally to slow of a powder to get full velocity and consistancy in a 308 case.
