    147gr. 308 load question

    Hey everyone, I need a little help. I normally load 150gr. bullets for my M1A but my brother gave me a bag of 1000 147gr. bullets and I want to load them up for some plinking rounds. I have the Lee 2nd edition and Lyman 49th edition reloading manuals and I have looked on the IMR/ Hodgdon site but I cant find load data for the 147gr. round. I have IMR 4064, IMR 4895 and Varget, I would like to use one of those powders if possible. Anybody have any load data or have any idea where I can find some. Appreciate the help!

          Load them with the same data that you use for the 150 grain loads, it will just have a little lower pressure.

            I just usually seat to cannelure (usually close to 2.795 on the average) as I only use the 147's for blasting/plinking
