From the Hodgon online manual
180 GR. SIE SPBT IMR IMR 4895 .308" 3.300" 45.0 2555 49,500 PSI 48.0 2680 56,800 PSI

You might want to book mark that. Sierra also has a book that covers every bullet they make with suggested loads.[/url]

Thank you Ya gonna bookmark it now. I see Sierra has a Kindle version of there reloading manual too

[JohnFH]

you just keep that kindle stuff to yourself, TMI

[newguy]

I don't have a Kindle myself i have app on my phone and read books that way when i am bored or get stuck somewere waiting for someone in a car or a store

Not to spend all of your money, newguy, but I noticed the latest Hornady manual had lots of recipes, especially for older mil-surp calibers (not that this helps for Sierra bullets, of course).

Lol Ya trying to find ways to get what i need without breaking the bank. Kindle Versions of reloading manuals are like 5 bucks. Also i see Vihta Vuori Powder has there full manual free with tons of Odd European calibers in pdf format.

Yes, sometimes you just have to put out a little cash to have the data conveniently in front of you.
Like JohnFH says, the Sierra Manual is likely the best source for Sierra bullets. The recipe he quoted should get you started.

If you spend sometime looking, you can find pretty much anything you need, I have the full Sierra .224 and .308 offerings, downloaded as .pdf

Yo da man, JohnFH!
I suppose you'll have to forward details to GA, too, now that he has the Eddystone...
