225 Hornady ELD .308 load question

[leviathanxx]

I am trying to figure out what a safe and reliable load for a 225 Hornady ELD .308 bullet is but can't seem to find reliable data. Alot of individuals mention utilizing rl15 but outside of that I can't find load data. Any suggestions?

For what caliber? Assuming .308 Win, Hornady lists 5 powders. Varget, RL-15, IMR4064, Win 748, and CFE 223. If it'a for a .308 Win, and your barrel has a 1 in 12" twist rate, you may have some stability issues. That bullet may need a 1 in 10" twist to properly stabilize, or be driven faster than what Hornady lists. Though, Hornady's data tends to be on the conservative side.

Thank you for this! I could not find that on the Hornady 10th edition or anything about it in the Sierra. Thank you!
