No Sierra manual..... Can somebody help a fella out?

[notsorichguy]

I just sourced 1000 pieces of Sierra match kings .308 168gr.

I'm looking for Sierra load data from the manual for H-4895 and benchmark...... 308 Winchester

I already have the Hornady, Nosler, Speer and Lyman data, but my library lacks a Sierra manual as I don't "normally" load this brand of projectiles..... While the data I have is a good cross reference, nothing beats manufactures data!

I've ordered a manual, but I'd like to get started before it arrives.....

Thanks a bunch!

Which 30 cal cartridge would you like data for? I have an old Sierra manual that won't have benchmark.

Sorry..... I guess I'm a bit too excited to get going!

308.

42 gr 4895 is considered 'the' 168 load.

Other famous load is 39 gr 3031

This is a page from Sierra Reloading Manual 5th Edition. Hopefully its all you need.

Nice!


Why didn't I think of that..... I somewhat "simply" went to Sierras web site, found no data, and posted here...... Funnily enough, hogdons web site lists both of these powders and Sierra 169 HPBT (doesn't mention match kings) which is the same loading in the manual!

I'll be loading tonight! Thanks boys!

Good thing the other guys had the info you needed, upon looking my old Sierra manual wouldn't have been much help.
