308 loads for kiddies

[bobby]

hi
i'm looking for some advice or reloading data for the 308 win . my 9 year old wants to try hunting a duiker or springbuck next year so we need a lekker reduced load for him to start shooting the 308 . he shoots the 22 just fine but i don't have a lighter rifle than the 308 to use as a stepping stone . i was thinking of the 130gr hornady interlock sp bullets  and i've got s335 and s321 powder .

any suggestions will be appreciated .

The easiest way of downloading is to use pistol powder to get speeds as from 1100 to 1600fps. The other is to use S335 and 110gr bullets and aim at 2500fps. There is another post active now giving info supplied by Koos Barnard.

ek het gesien(agtergekom) die recoil tussen 110gr en 150gr is so min verskil, dat dit amper nie tersprake is nie. bygese my 308 loop stroopsoet met 150gr, dink hy recoil besonders min.
as jy regtig 'n verskil wil siewn, koop silent hunting se reflex silencer. maak 'n helse verskil! geweer klap soos ''n .22, en recoil my nie van 'n wynboks af op 200m nie.
en die ding is lig, en hanteer maklik.
anyway, ek laai 42.8gr 335 vir my 150 gr, en hy skiet regtig lekker.(selfs sonder die reflex)
