"The Load"
« on: June 03, 2003, 04:45:13 PM »
Has anyone Tried C.E. Harris's "the load" 13 grains of Red Dot in a Rifle case (any case over 35 Rem size.) For rifles bored 30 cal and larger. Supposed to work good for a reduced load in 308, 30/06, 762x54, 8mm, 45/70 ect. Supposed to be good with cast and jacketed bullets with velocity in the 1450 for a 200 grain 1500 with a 170 grain and 1600 with a 150 grain that is all cast bullets jacketed are a bit slower. Any one that has used this load or a reduced load for the 30/30 using Red Dot I would be interested in hearing about it. Jim
Said I never had much use for one, never said I didn't know how to use it.

Yep! I have in my .30-06 with cast lead bullets... I'd have to go dig out my records, but I have shot some really light "plinking" loads from my Remington 700 with it...
I want to finish well
I want to end this race

After doing more research I decided on using Unique for reduced loads not as fast a powder and more applications were found. A few more grains might be used but it looked like it might have more accurate loads. Jim
