Cometh the Smartmouth Answer: "Can't you find the .308 page in your reloading manual?"
Mr. Hogdon sez a starting load is 49.0 of H380, with the 110-gr. MV of 2,966 at 43,200 CUP. His Max is 53.0 grains at 3,145 and 46,800.
He doesn't mention aa4350, but H4350 starts at 44.0 grains, for 2,230 at 25,600 CUP. The max load is listed at 47.0 grains, for 2,525 at 32,000 CUP. I'd say that means that H4350 is just way too slow for the light bullet.
Looking at the Hodgdon book, and recalling some posts here, 4895 seems to be a better powder for these lightweight bullets.
Mr. Speer thinks AA 2460, Re12, H322, Re15, AA2520, 3031 and 4895 are all good. The fastest Max load is 3,200 ft/sec, +/-.
