Just in case everybody doesn't know, H110 and 296 are the same powder. The minor differences in published loading data is from different lots of powder being compared, not actually different powder.

The Nosler manual says that any ballistic tip hunting bullet (the tests were done with .30 cal 165 gr BTs) should expand down to an impact velocity of 1600 fps, if memory serves. I read it not two...

I think all of JD Jones' data was done with Rem 7 1/2 primers which are standard small rifle primers. However, if I remember right Federal primers are the softest with Winchesters being the hardest.

I guess they do not realize that a standard A1 or A2 hider is plenty big for a .30 caliber bullet. A .308 round will go through up to the shoulder.

I have a 16" Oly barrel. With no more powder than is used, I do not think an extra 2" of barrel would make any difference velocity wise. You are only using 20 gr of H-110 with a full blown 125 gr...
