I got it from a friend, from the price sticker I would assume it was sitting in he's locker for good couple years.
I could have a good use for it learning 308 reloading and making my own receipts for rings shooting.

Anybody could tell me where can I find the data chart, or anybody knows what weight to start with?
Lapua brass
155gn Sierra Palma Match 2156
and finally I got all my reloading dies/tools on the pile .

Hi bigHun,

Send me your email and I can share few gigs of reloading resources.

Cheers,
 
Thanks guys, I was looking into Hodgdon website weeks ago, they don't list the H380 probably because its old?
This was a reason me asking....
I have a full can of H380, or I can just buy another one.
What would be a better option reloading for 300 to 600 meter target rings? The combination with primer then...
 
I would assume since you reload you have a few reloading books right?
If not I think it is a good idea to get a few books I like the Lee and the Lyman, the nosler and the barns are great too!
 
Speer 12 load manual has .308 150-165gr at the same min-max charge weights, would start there with 155gr. Pretty sure. Have a Sierra load book in the shop, will check it in the am and see what it has listed for a 155gr .308 load.

I get excellent groups with H380 out of my .308. I'm shooting 165 gr. Speer and Sierra hunting bullets. I often have to make compressed loads to get the most out of the powder and though I don't really like making compressed loads, the results are impressive. My Lyman reloading manual doesn't show data for 155 gr. bullet with H380. BTW, in the pic I should have written 46.5 gr. not 36.5 and I should also mention that this was shot at 100 yds.

Sell or trade the powder off for something that is proven to will work with 155's. No magic for this combination of Laupa Brass and 2156 bullets. 46.0 gr of Varget or 46.0 gr of VV N140. Seat the bullet .020" off the lands and go shoot. 46 gr seems to be the sweet spot but I have heard of a few shooters hot-rodding up to 47 gr. This 46.0 gr load of Varget or N140 works with 2156, 2155, Berger 155.5.
 
Get a reloading manual..it will be useful for any bullet or component change now and the futur as well as for other caliber you might get. It also contain safety and info on reloading.

Like others have said buy a manual or two and work up loads. Don't rely on others for info or you'll run the risk of getting bad/wrong information and this isn't a hobby to make mistakes with.
