MAC10 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 hi, due to all the reloading component shortages i have had to buy some 147gr bthp`s ( these are not pulled but new ). i`m sure most of you already know there is hardly any data for this bullet in manuals. what i have read is to just use 150gr bullet data and work up. that would be fine if i lived in a warm climate where i could get my chrono out but is is way too cold. i was hoping someone would already have a few safe pet loads using various powders or a site that had data for these bullets. i would be using nato brass so the volume would be smaller than using com. brass. below are the powders i have available to use: imr 3031 imr 4895 ( my fave for 168gr match Sierra bullet) imr 4064 h-4895 benchmark h-335 blc-2 ( normally a 5.56 powder for me ) & TAC any help would be appreciated...thanks!

mscott Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 You should be safe using 150 gr bullet data to start with. Just start low and work up. I loaded some 147 fmj a while ago and that’s what I did. I’ll check to see what I came up with when I get back to the loading room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC10 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 thanks but as i said in my post "working up" requires me to get my chrono out and its way too cold to do that at this time. i was looking for an exact recipe or two that i would not have to chrono. btw, these would be used in an ar10 w/ 24in bull bbl.

Western seems too post data for military bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
