gazzarM1 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Have done and there is some info....what I am looking for is some numbers in relation to starting load for Tinstar and 308 180 grainers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean c Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Can't help with 180gn bullets but I'm using 175's so pretty close. I finalised my subsonic load last weekend with Tinstar. I started at 12gns and reduced from there. No special case prep and standard cci LR primers, I am using coated bullets though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deserttech Europe Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 10.5 gr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 6 minutes ago, Deserttech Europe said: 10.5 gr I would start a little higher and work down. Also remember or check the bullet is stable without the mod! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzarM1 Posted March 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Can’t wait to get back on the range to mess about with the loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdjrman Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Cheers sorry for delay, 308 16'' barrel - powder N132 10.5grns 1025 fps works well, wish I had in theory I had gone for a 1-7 twist or 1-6 twist dedicated subsonic however we live and learn 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banus02 Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 good afternoon ,why the faster twist rate? my rpr is a 1 in 10 twist and stablises the 175gr sierra tipped match kings with 9 grs of trail boss just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 The faster twist causes a better expansion of the bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
