I am new to reloading. I am shooting a ruger ar556. I was looking to find the closest load to the miliatary green tip. Does anyone have any recommendations on what load I should shot.

Probably the most popular bullet of all times has the fewest bullets available for selection. I use various brands, Berger, Sierra and Hornady and others, in weights from 150g to 220g. Shooters using gas guns from 150 to 175. Bolt guns from 175 up through 220g. Please add a decent library for .308 bullets.
I use the .308 for all types of hunting in the U.S. and also for precision shooting out to 1000 yard...
Thank you.
I guess you wanted to write: "Probably the most popular caliber (NOT BULLET) of all times has the fewest bullets available. I can see that the 308 has actually 596 bullets available: https://www.xxlreloading.com/caliber-load-data/.308-win.-(7.62-x-51)
I've been shooting to the limits of the calibers I own so I recently purchased a .416 Barrett MRAD ELR. I'm looking for load data from someone that might have already been down this path. My plan is H50BMG and Hornady 500gr A-TIP and Cutting Edge 422gr MTAC projectiles. I'm pretty used to working the loads up to the most consistent and predictable. Once or twice a year my friends and I go to east Orgon for farm pest mitigation so we usually really press the FPS for the effects... LOL
Based on the limited load data I've been able to find online, it seems the 500gr A-TIP is pretty happy with 185-195gr of H50. I was planning to make a couple sets in this range and see what we get. Any feedback would be great.
Hello Patrick
Have several loads for 416 Barrett, 460 Steyr and 50 BMG. Just let me know what you're looking for? Better to talk off-line owner@ankhenterprises.org so we don't get tied up on xxl.

Hallo hatt wer ladedaten für die 45 acp 200 grain h&n HP hs geschoss vihtavuori 3n38
Schon ma vielen Dank
Sven
Würde es mal mit 11.5 grain bei 32mm l6/Patronenlänge versuchen. Füllrate ca. 85%. V0 ca. 330m/s. Pulver hat bei dem Kaliber aber einen suboptimalen Abbrand (dürfte <80% liegen). Also nicht wundern, wenn ggf. das Mündungsfeuer und der Knall etwas ausgeprägter sind ...
Starting load development with Shell Shock NAS3 Cases - anyone have some load data they could share? For reference, I will be developing the load for my AR - presently have a Ballistic Advantage SPR profiled 18" barrel with Wylde chamber and 1:8 twist rate. Barrel has a rifle length gas system with Rifle Speed adjustable gas block. Barrel is profiled for the OPS 12 Suppressor - will run an OCM5. Want to try the Sierra 77 gr TMK, Berger 80.5 gr Fullbore, and Hornady 80 gr ELD Match. Have some modified magazines to allow loading beyond Std 2.26" COAL so I would also like to see if I can get the 88 gr or 90 gr projectiles to stabilize. Appreciate any/all comments and assistance.
Nosler, Sierra, Hornady websites usually list the appropriate twist rates for all their heavy and long bullets. Some can be controlled somewhat by higher velocities and super long barrel lengths. Info FYI: Trail Boss:
Available. Going fast. Expensive. Only 2 single 9oz allowed per customer.
GOOD LUCK. I'll keep looking.
Go to hodgdon official website for details.
Thank xxlreloading team for adding the .264 TSX BT to the database.
When I entered 6.5 Creedmoor data, I saw that load information for the Barnes TSX BT appeared instantly. The speed amazed me, and I’m curious:
Are these data pulled from published sources (e.g., manuals or forum posts)?
Or are they extrapolated from bullets with similar geometry?
If the values are indeed extrapolated, could you also provide projected loads for the Barnes TSX BT in 6.5 Grendel?
Thank you again for your excellent work.
Our data is simulated based on sophisticated ballistic models. Get more information about this on our home page and in the „About us“ and „FAQ“ section.
We have added load data for the 6.5 Grendel but want to flag that the bullet length is at the upper limit and that the 120gr version seems more suited.
Hi, Barnes TSX BT (yes BT one with g1 of .411 according to Barnes, instead of the flat base one) .264 130gr is a lead-free hunting bullet short enough to stabilize well via a 1:8 twist.
Hence, I sincerely request the possible ballistic/load data of this projectile:
We are happy to add this bullet and load data for it. However, we need bullet specifications which Barnes does not offer. See here what we need and please request the bullet there once you have on and can take the measures:
Is it possible to have the load data of the NOSLER Varmageddon 90gn bullet for the 6.5x47 Lapua caliber?
Thanks
Hi, we are trying to add load data for those two powders. However, we are missing one of the key inputs. Does anyone have the bulk density of these powders by chance?
Could you add in 22 TCM?
Thank you!!
Hello, i'm looking for data concerning 8mm lebel, .323 diameter in 196grains.
Thank you in advance
Dear XXLreloading Team,
Is it possible to add reload data for the Sako Blade 7 mm (.284) bullet 9,1 g/140 gr bullet?
In my case preferbly for the 7mm Rem Mag and 7x65R caliber but it would be great for all 7 mm calibers.
I attach pictures of the box, measures of boat tail end and boat tail length.
Maximum bullet length: 33,70 mm
Minimum bullet length: 33,64 mm
Sure - here you go: https://www.xxlreloading.com/bullets/.284-%7C-140gr-%7C-sako-blade
please create dataload for 44 special (introduced by Smith & Wesson in 1907)
Sincerly yours👀
Hello.
I`d like to try out new Loads in 9x25 Dillon.
Now i am using VV 3N37 powder with .355 95gn oder 115gn Sierra bullets.
Any plans to add some in the future?
Kind regards and thanks in advance!
Will have added 9x25 Dillon as caliber. Will go live soon. All suitable powders and bullets will have load data.
Dear xxlreloading Team, can you add the SAKO 30 CAL Bullet Blade (11g/170gr) for loading in 30-06 to the Database? I did some measurements on the bullet length: Average: 73.05 mm Min: 73.00 mm
Max: 73.15 mm Attached a Picture of the Bullet Box. Thanks!


Hello.
There are lots of bullet weights available in the load data for .375 H&H, but nothing at all for a 220gr bullet. I want to use a locally produced bullet here in South Africa from SUS-TAC (Bullet Specifications - https://sus-tac.co.za/index.php/bullet-specifications)
Also the .375 220gr bullets from Viper Bullets (another South African produced bullet - VERY well priced) at BC & Twist: Plains Supreme – Viper Bullets - https://www.viperbullets.com/bc-and-twist-plains-supreme/
Thanks and regards,
Des
We will shortly add SUS-TAC bullets and load data where we have necessary specifications. Regarding Viper - they do not list critical information on their website such as length, length of boat tail, diameter at bullet bottom ... Please send me these specs of the bullets you want us to add and we give it a shot.
We are not aware that Hornady is selling its Superperformance powder. We assume you mean Hodgdon Superperformance Powder which is (as far as we understand) used for Hornady's Superperformance Ammunition. This powder is available already if you use the personalized load calculator.
Would like to have a 6.5 prc that would shoot a 142 grain bullet 4000fps
The way you can check if this is feasable is as follows:
go to the respective caliber page - here: https://www.xxlreloading.com/calibers/6.5-prc
See if there is a bullet in your desired weight available. In your case it is not. So you can choose the next closest - here 143g or 140g
We have chosen for this illustration the Hornady 143g ELD-X: https://www.xxlreloading.com/load-data/6.5-prc/.264-%7C-143gr-%7C-hornady-eld-x
The load table gives you the velocitis for the max load. They include in our standard settings a safety buffer of 10% vs. the maximum allowed pressure for this caliber.
The fastest velocity with this buffer is Alliant Reloder 25 with 3156fps
Now you can - at own risk - open the "PErsonalized Load Calculator" tab and put the safety buffer to 0. This shows you that Accurate MagPro would give you 3199 fps at a 23.6'' barrel length.
Why no load data for Hodgon superformance or Ramshot big game
Hello looking to see if its possible to get load data using US869 for 338 lapua 250g berger hybrid OTM tactical ! Thanks
I have some load data for it but you guys have better data as to pressures and all that thanks
Thanks to the support of the community we have been able to calibrate our powder model for Hodgdon US 869 and have added this powder: https://www.xxlreloading.com/powders/hodgdon--us-869
However, it does not meet the listing criteria for your desired caliber and bullet combination: https://www.xxlreloading.com/services-faq?questionId=dbd4f8b9-101e-4f50-9993-936cee30bf88&appDefId=14c92d28-031e-7910-c9a8-a670011e062d and is hende not listed in the standard loads: https://www.xxlreloading.com/load-data/.338-lapua-mag./.338-%7C-250gr-%7C-berger-hybrid-otm-tactical
The propellant combustion is below 90%, actually 78%. You can see if you use the personalized load calculator for this powder / caliber combination: https://www.xxlreloading.com/services-faq?questionId=9ca693aa-8929-48cb-89f2-50031f3c83a8&appDefId=14c92d28-031e-7910-c9a8-a670011e062d as this shows also loads with lower propellant combustion.
Hope this helps!
Interesti calibers for me would be 6.5 CM and 6.5x57R

We have added the bullet and load data for it:

There is several loads listed in the 8.0 Edition Western Loads for both 222 Rem and 556 Nato. Just look for the 62 MIL M855 listing for the desired powder. Here is a copy of that document:
Enjoy.
