300blk, COAL 2.080, 175gr Hprnady Sub-x, 11.5gr H110 starting load, cci small rifle primers. Hoping to double check expected velocity in 10.5" Encore pistol. Thanks in advance for all the help so far!

Got another experiment hitting the bench and wanted to check for safety. Reloading 30 Carbine....but....here's the catch...110gr TTSX Barnes is my projectile. I have a new barrel on the Encore and it does chamber and extract. I also shot varmagetton with great results with the longer COAL...
Great info man, thanks for the data. Haus of Arms Barrels sent up a 1 in 7 twist in a 30 Carbine barrel which kind of explains the rabbit hole I'm in. SAMI puts the .30 at 40k cup so I'll work up and watch for signs.
All good info. I've held 7x57 pretty close being that it is the cartridge I first started reloading. I did figure out that the downloads for the 1916 Spanish needed a little more gas when I put them in the No. 1. That 150-175 in the number 1 will fill the freezer with no questions asked...
I looked at the bearing surface on the Varmageddon bullets and could set the seating depth to the same as a 110 fmj but the COAL would add .261 to the new load. Ogive is almost dead on a 110fmj
Good evening gents, I was able to find a box of 110gr Varmageddon bullets in .308 Dia just days before receiving my new to me TC Encore with a 16.25 inch 30 Carbine barrel. This bullet has been found to be too long for magazines in the M1 but with a break action, the ogive and tip should be...
Hey Paul, I am shooting a 1916 Spanish Mauser which has gone through some sporterizing. Right off the bat, my bullet weights need to be in the 170s. Anything in the 140s gets me about a 16 inch group at 100yds. I shrunk my groups a bit by removing top wood and placing a scout style optic on...
