[Hollowpoint]

Evening all, anyone had any reliable data for .308 110grn vmax? Only powder i have at the minute is h4895 and am looking to get some info for the 110 vmax.. shooting 30" heavy palma barrel .308 with 1:11. Have moved house and cannot dind my reloading manual anywhere!!!!!

If you only have H4895, there's data in the Hornaday manual (12th edition) I have, data below.

Starting load = 43.9 gr

Starting velocity = 2,700 fps

Max load = 51.9 gr

Max velocity = 3,200 fps

For note, this is from a 22" 1/12" twist barrelled Winchester Model 70 rifle.

There's also data for the Barnes 110 gr TSX on Hodgdon's reloading data centre.

You could use that as a starting point, but be aware, that's an all copper-alloy bullet and they commonly have a higher shot-start pressure and bore friction.

The Vihtavuori and Western Powders manuals have quite a few loads for the Hornaday 110 gr V-max, but you'd have to get another type of powder.

That's all I could find for a quick check.

Can you still get H4895 as its not REACH compliant (as it contains Ddinitrotoluene) ?

Viht N140 is becoming the standard (a quick internet search reveals) and would be more readilly available..

Yes, still available in places in Northern Ireland
