170gr FN 3006 varget info

[WhelanLad]

hi guys so i am going to do a test in water jugs with 30-30 bullets at 3006 velocity - but i have a quick question regarding the 170gr fn data particuarly, seeing as the fn is quite long an has a bit of bearing surface, pressure is likely to be a bit higher than ya "typical" 168gr .308 projectile...? right?

what data would be safe to just load 1-2 with using Varget ?? ADI data for 168 shows 47gr to 50gr Varget- 2700fps upwards... 42000cup..
the 180gr data shows 44-47gr, 2500fps up an 42000cup...

Whats ya rough safe number to start at with said FN variety in 170 GR

but also the 150gr- FN which i have played with before altho in .308,


the other powder i do have which works for "redued" i believe is 4198- i read it on the internet...


my aim is just to have something safe, that flys faster than the 30-30, an doesnt have to be a accurate load--- i am just unsure due to bearing surface here...

thank you

what i did was.

30gr 4198 for both 150fn an 170fn............ rough replicate of 30-30.
and 44 and 47 gr 2208 for them 150/170fn for rough 30-06 velocity for test sake.

Use 180 gr data. - dan

Use 180 gr data. - dan

yeah cool, i thought that would be the case!

so interesting, 150gr FN with the 30gr 4198 - at 20meters pin holed through 11 x 1lt water jugs with no sign of expansion------ i think its in the 2300 bracket??

so back to drinking milk for a while an recover some more milk jugs
