I picked up a copy of handloader and was reading an article by john haviland on reduced loads for 308. Very good article with some great info. As he describes the recipes he noted the velocities and subsequent extreme spread. I have to say I was shocked at the extreme spreads especially given they were reduced loads. Again these are extreme spreads:
2 fps with w760
0 fps with h4198
12 fps with 4759
7 fps with reloader 7
3 fps red dot
Several others in the low teens.
There were others listed but these numbers seem astonishing given partial case volume. I saw no reference to the number of rounds chronod but if it was more then two this seems extremely good. He was using lead bullets as you might guess, various molds (5) and several powders ranging from red dot, tight group, clays, etc..
Have you guys seen es like this ? Great article. August edition.
