Where to find- load info on factory loads

salzosalzo Member Posts: 6,396 ✭✭
Planning on getting into reloading in the next couple of weeks. For my purposes, I really do not have a problem with the factory loads I use. I think to get started, I would like to basically duplicate what I have been using.

I currently use the following.

Remington Cor locs for the following:
3006- 180 grain Savage bolt and remington pump rifle.
243- 100 grain Husqvarna bolt action
35 remnington 200 grain Marlin Lever, savage pump.
300 savage, 180 grain Remington 760
3030 170 grain Marlin lever

WINCHESTER Silver tip- 358 Winchester 200 grain.
HORNADY light Magnum 444 marlin 265

So I guess what I am looking for is Remington, Winchester, Hornadys "recipe" for their cartridges. What bullets, powder, etc. THanks for any help.

    Hello You will not find a recipe because factorys load to pressure / VELOCITY with the powder they have . Handloaders have "CANISTER" powder so if they buy some today and the same number next year it will be the same

    What you can do is try to duplicate the load by getting a chrony and shooting a box of your favorite ammo and then try to match it's velocity rolling your own rounds.

    I would give the manufacturers a call and see what they say, you may get lucky.

    I have tried to duplicate the military M118LR Sniper ammo before. Sources said that RE-15 was the powder in those rounds. I called up Alliant Powder CO and spoke to a rep and he indicated that he can not SHARE the load info with me...... BUT... I should maybe try 42.0gn to 44gn of RE-15 with these components and I may get lucky. [;)]

    Doesn't "Cartridges of the World" have a listing of factory-duplicate loads?
