Looking for some info on loads for the 307 Winchester , I have loaded some rounds for the range but none for hunting since the rounds I loaded were with regular size .308 projectiles and I have to load one at a time threw the chamber since there too long to feed up threw the tube mag . Any info on projectiles or loads would be appreciated I have been using IMR 4064 powder and 180 gr hornady projectiles .
 
Hodgdon has a list of loads for 307 with bullet weights from 110-180GR. Flat nose and round nose bullets are available from almost all manufacturers search their sites. I load for mine and use H4350 and H414, have used IMR4064 in the past, mostly with 150GR. Hodgdon doesn't list IMR4064 any more but it works fine. Here's a list from Hodgdon's manual #26 for 4064- OAL 2.530-2.560 max.
-110 GR- 45.0-48.0 max
-125-130GR-42.0-45.0 max
-150GR-41.0-44.0 max
-165-170GR-39.0-42.0 max
- 180GR- 39.0-41.0 max
-200Gr- 37.0-39.0 max
 
When I first loaded for mine I tried the 170 grain Speer hot for but found that the were a little to soft. I have shot a few deer is with the hornady 170 grain FN and H4895. I also had fairly good accuracy with the Barnes 150 grain FN TSX with H335 and WLRM primers if you want to shoot monolithic copper. This year I'm coining to try the Hornady FTX that was designed for the 30/30 with leverevolution powder. The velocity I'm getting out of that load is 2560 fps. It is at the upper limit for what the bullet was designed for according to the hornady guidelines. Hope that helps you
 
It's basically a rimmed 308. There are tons of 308 reload recipes around, just pick the ones you want. If it's for a Winchester 94 lever action, make sure the loads are appropriate (and use blunt bullets).
