Sierra's manual confirms that 4064 is just fine for .30/40 220-grain loads, giving similar velocity at acceptable pressure with lighter charges. Here's some of their data (from a 22" barrel) -
.308 220 gr. RN Cartridge OAL: 3.000" Vel. fps. 1800 1900 2000 2100 IMR-4064 34.3 36.0 37.7 39.5 IMR-4350 38.2 40.2 42.3 44.4 Standard primers should be OK for 4064. It's not hard to ignite. |
