So I use almost exclusively Remington core lokt ammo for all my hunting needs and I was wondering if anyone had some load data for this ammo in these calibres

303 Brit 180gr PSP

30-06 180gr PSP

22-250 55gr PSP

Not sure if data on this ammo exists or not but I want to get as close as possible, bullet brands, powder brands and recommend weights, primers will probably be cam pro or cci probably, any information is greatly appreciated thanks
 
I managed to get around 2330fps with 40grains of imr4895 and a 180grn speer hot cor. Probably keep working up to 41. This is out of a scoped and sporterized p14 for deer slaying. Thats using Sierra data.

303 is pretty easy to load for using , 4895, 4064, 3031, 4350

Currently only have a Lee loading manual, was planning on using H335 as a sorta universal powder as I had load data for it for all my rifle calibres but I wanted peoples opinions first
 
Not sure about these days - used to be that because H414 / W-W 760, or W-W 748 is ball powder, especially in 30-06 or larger case - you would probably want to use a Magnum Large Rifle primer. I had really decent luck with standard Large Rifle primer with IMR 4064, or RL-15 in 308 Win size cases. I have read here on CGN, that some guys work up all their loads, with any powder, in any brass, with any bullet, using Magnum primers - can't usually substitute magnum to standard primers "back and forth" though - apparently like two or more grains powder difference - is not really an issue if you "work up" your load charges in small steps - for EVERY change to the load that worked. I think some Winchester primers were made for use with either standard "log" powder or "ball" powder.
 
H335 burn rate is to fast to be ideal for all of the cartridges you list.

It's not a bad choice for the 22-250 with medium weight bullets, in the 50-55grn range, but for the 303Brit and 30-06 there are much better powders that should be used, especially with heavier end bullets such as the 180 grain.

I like the Remington Kore Lokt bullets as well. They do a good job under most hunting conditions if used at velocities under 2800fps.

The powders listed by danb, pot and saskcop are about the best for a universal powder for those three cartridges and others in their range.

You can use H335 in the three cases you list but YOU need to do your own due diligence on the reloads and powder charges/primers.

The case capacities of the two larger cases will give you some issues, so if you pursue this route, be careful and use a filler, such as Dacron fibre if your load doesn't fill the case at least 75%. Some may scoff at this but it's just a good safe practice I've gotten into a habit of doing, after seeing some nast results from low volume case capacities.

Nothing catastrophic but such things as blown primers, erratic velocities resulting in poor accuracy etc.

I’ll take it into consideration, I wanted a “universal” powder to simplify getting components and reloading in general, that’s what I did for all my handgun reloading and was hoping to do with rifle but looks like I’ll have to get a couple different ones I’m leaning to h414 and h4350 to start

I planned for some more calibres in the future but those 3 are my hunting loads, eventually I’d like to load for .223, 308,30-30, 6.5 carcano, 7.62x39 and 54r and maybe 338 or .50bmg( long term dreams)
 
Use temperature insensitive powders ...less change of pressure and point of impact
I learned my lesson by missing a buck of a lifetime f&@k it was huge I counted 7 points on one side ....
I re worked up a load and now I have load data out to 400 meters ..and I have tested and verified it as well
I suggest you do the same so you know your drop and distance...hey it’s just practice right
Cheers and happy reloading
