90 grain .308 XTP --anyone used them

[Jim Stacy]

I picked up a couple of boxes of 90 .308 XTP's . Any body out there used them in a 32/20 or 30 carbine TC ? Looks like H110 is the thing to use . Has anyone loaded and used them ? I need feed back !!!!!!  :money:

I have loaded them in the .300 Whisper,with the intent of sending crows to their happy irritating grounds..but have yet shoot one with the 90's.  They are screamers though.  Should be the cat's meow with the 30 Carbine for varmit sized critters.

I have loaded them in the Whisper, 30-30, 7.62x39, 7.62x25 and 30-06.   They have been great for accuracy in all of these, however you will have to compensate for elevation with the light bullets.  I am not seeing much for loads in the 30 Carbine, but I found some 90 gr Sierra JHC data for the 32-20 up to 1689 fps with AA 1680.  This is from the Accurate Reloading book and is also listed in the Contender Loadbooks USA.  The powders listed for a 90 gr are AA #5, #7, #9, 1680 and 2015.
  I also see data for a 100 gr plinker with H-110 @ 1908 fps with a maximum load of 17.0 grs. / 16.0 grs is listed at 1734 fps.  I bet if you started with 16.0 and worked up from there, you would do fine.
