Me no likey. Old one worked better because it gave you all the data in a table which was easy to look up. Now it's all fancy schmancy crap designed to appeal to the ADHD generation.

Example of the data from the old hogdon site (see attached). New Hodgon site isn't that fantastic and you have to scroll up and down to see all the data.

Glad I printed a bunch off the old site. This new one leaves off powders I have, although they are not optimum powders for the cartridge you try to use what you can get these days!

Yup, the new site isn't that extensive.

Don't like what I saw from them on the H110 and 300BLK with 150gr projectiles.  I'm shooting 16.5 grains of H110, and they're saying the maximum is 16.2 grains.  Need to load up some at the lesser charge and see how they do.  <dontknow>

Looks high. Been studying the loads before I put together some subsonics.

 

Hornady manual for 300 AAC 150/155gr using H110

 

fps    load (gr)

1500   12.3

1600   13.5

1700   14.7

1800   15.9 (max)

 

 

Nosler loads for 300 AAC 140gr using H110

 

fps    load (gr)  density

1786   14.0       88%

1800   15.0       94%

1977   16.0 (max) 100%

Sierra's data is different again, from that ^^^.

 

Sierra doesn't list H110 for the 150s, they stop at the 135s with it.  They run the LilGun in both though.

 

 

 

[shibiwan]

Yep... I have the sierra data too. Wonder why they skip the H110.

 

Well only way to find out is to start messing around. I got 2 lbs of AA1680 and another 2 lbs of AA5744. That should load up a ton of 300 BLK.

 

LilGun is "one step" slower than H110 on the burn rate charts and the load on the hornady manual goes up to 17.0gr (max) @ 1900 fps
