Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading: Rifle-Pistol Volume II [2]

Citation preview

Some notes on this book

from J. W. Hornady “This Hornady Handbook is a comprehensive guide to handload-

ing and shooting nearly 100 rifle/ pistol/cartridge combinations— and the most complete and authoritative reference we have ever published on using the full line of Hornady Bullets. “The thousands of loads and ballis- tic calculations in Volume II are based on over 150,000 rounds of test firings we have conducted in the Hornady Lab in more than a decade of research.

“Volume II of the Hornady Handbook has been five years in preparation. It is a full 40% larger than the preceding volume we published in 1967. It has been carefully revised to include data on more cartridges, more powders, and more bullets. And its pioneering ballistic tables have been extended and simplified to make them more helpful and convenient than any others ever published. “Sensibly organized, colorfully presented, durably and expensively bound, the Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading, Volume II is a manual the serious reloader will be proud to own and pleased to use.” continued on back flap

All loading data contained in this book is the result of testing by the Hornady Manufacturing Company. Under carefully controlled conditions and with the components and test equipment specified, this data proved safe in our testing. Since the Hornady Manufacturing Company has no control over the components and equipment which may be used with this published information, no responsibility is implied or assumed

for results obtained through its use. Lithographed in The United States of America

Preface Few things stand still in this world, and reloading is no

exception. Since our first Hornady Handbook (1967) the line of Hornady Bullets has increased by about a third, powders have come and gone, and there have been several significant new firearms developments. To reflect all these changes it’s been necessary to revise and augment this reference manual. And so we h4ve. In preparing this new book we’ve drawn on the talents and energies of many different people. Reuben Hayes conducted most of the test firing underlying our loading data, with assistance in the final few months of shooting from Dick Moriarty. Steve Hornady handled shooting chores, data analysis, proof reading, and general coordination of the project. Technical illustrations in the book were provided by Ken Klostermeyer and Chuck Schreiber, Chief Engineer for the company. Diane Ingram and Marj McGavren helped type and proof this text. Valuable contributions were made by many people from outside the company. Robert Hornady took time from his doctoral research in plasma physics at the University of Maryland to write the computer program which generated our ballistic tables. George Dial of Swanson,

Sinkey, Ellis, Inc. drew our very attractive cover

illustration. The color pictures published here were taken from a film produced for us by Roger Barlow. Notable and much appreciated assistance on this whole project came from Max Dunlevy, Vice President of the Rigby Corporation, printers of this book. A special note of appreciation is due Larry Steadman who came back to Nebraska from his doctoral program at Harvard Business School to create and edit this book. In addition to these individuals who were importantly and directly involved in bringing you the new Hornady Handbook, there is a special group of people who need to be recognized: the employees of Hornady Manufacturing Company. Without them this manual could never have been created. The great progress our firm has made since its founding in 1949 rests on their competence and concern for quality, their loyalty and dedication. Though we haven't had space to picture each of our employees, we’d like to acknowledge their vital contributions by dedicating this book on using Hornady Bullets to the men and women who make them.

Between 1955 and 1964, twenty-six new rifle and pistol cartridges were introduced by arms manufacturers to American shooters. Exactly half of them were magnums. The 222 Remington Magnum came on the scene in 1958, along with two other entries in the great magnum race: the 264 Winchester Magnum and the 460 Weatherby Magnum.

A lengthened version of the 222 Remington, this magnum cartridge was originally an experimental design for the U.S. military (which ultimately adopted a variation known as the 5.56mm or commercially as the 223 Remington). The 222 Remington Magnum has greater case capacity than the 222 and thus somewhat more velocity and range potential. In performance terms it falls midway between the 222 and such venerable cartridges as the 219 Donaldson Wasp and Winchester’s 219 Zipper. Top velocities with the 222 magnum,

however, fall 300-400 fps below those pos-

sible with such high performance 22’s as the 225 Winchester, the 22-250, and the 220 Swift.

The advantages of the 222 Remington Magnum over

its parent cartridge, the standard

222, are slight. It

has not made sizable inroads into the popularity of

the 222. The magnum

does, however, handle 55 and

60 gr. bullets somewhat more easily and is thus slightly superior to the 222 when wind is an important factor or when a lot of shooting must be done at ranges from 225 to 275 yards.

219 DONALDSON WASP been made from

25 or 30 Remington rimless cases.

The Wasp reached its final form about 1941 after five to six years of experimenting by Harvey Donaldson, a well known shooter and wildcatter then and until his recent death. Early in its career the cartridge was used to win a number of important matches, and word of its accuracy—and long-range performance on varmints—helped it attract a respectable following in the 1940's.

Chambered in a good bolt action or single shot the Wasp is an accurate and deadly performer, and therein lay its advantage over the factory produced 219 Zipper. Ae were chambered in lever actions which just couldn’t shoot as effectively. As a comparison of loading data for both cartridges will indicate, ballistic performance of the pair is nearly identical.

When the 222 Remington appeared in 1950, a great many Wasp fanciers decided they'd rather spend

more time shooting than forming cases, and the wildcat started into a decline from which it’s never recovered. The sting is still in the Wasp, though, and it remains worth reloading.

RIFLE: F. N. MAUSER CUSTOM BARREL: 27’, 1 in 14” Twist CASE: REMINGTON PRIMER: RWS Winchester introduced the 219 Zipper in 1937, seven

years after the Hornet and two years after the powerful 220 Swift. Chambered in the firm’s Model 64 lever action, varminting version of the famous Model 94, it never delivered the tack-driving accuracy its customers demanded, and consequently never became widely popular.

Winchester discontinued manufacturing the Model 64 after WWII and the 219 Zipper became an orphan in 1961 when Marlin stopped chambering its Model 336 for the cartridge. The Zipper is now completely a handloading proposition since both Remington and Winchester have discontinued producing ammunition. A necked

formed from 30-30 brass), the 219 Zipper was and is a ballistically respectable performer. Top velocities possible with the nee are only 100 fps lower than those which can be developed in the 224 Weatherby Varmintmaster.

The Hornady 53 gr. Hollow Point or the 55 gr. Spire Point are outstanding choices for reloading the 219 Zipper and the cartridge is large enough to propel the wind-bucking Hornady 60 gr. Spire Point, or Hollow Point, heaviest 22’s in the line, up to an impressive 3300 fps. 4320 is a very good powder choice throughout the entire range of available bullet weights and especially with the heavier selections.

RIFLE: WINCHESTER MODEL 70 BARREL: 22’, 1 in 10” Twist CASE: WESTERN PRIMER: FEDERAL 210 With the discontinuation of factory loading of the 6mm Lee Navy cartridge in 1935, American shooters were to wait 20 years for another sporting round commercially available in 6mm caliber. The wait, most would agree, was worth it; 1955 saw the introduction of both the 243 Winchester and the 244 Remington. Warren Page, then Shooting Editor of FIELD & STREAM and now Executive Vice-President of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, developed an

important prototype of the 243 Winchester, and his writing on the subject did much to spark factory interest in commercial 6mm development.

The 243 Winchester is a 6mm cartridge necked down

from the 308 Winchester, sporting version of the 7.62mm NATO cartridge. It was developed as a car-

tridge suitable for targets from varmints to deer,

combining explosive high velocity on pests with dependable game stopping performance large as deer and antelope.

Introduced in 1955 as the 244 Remington, this cartridge was a commercial version of Fred Huntington’s 243 Rockchucker, a 6mm wildcat necked down from the 257 Roberts case. Remington conceived its 244 as a varmint cartridge and chambered a rather hefty Model 722 varmint rifle to accommodate the new round. The | in 12” twist provided handled pointed bullets up to 90 grains but would not stabilize potent

Fight years after the 244 first appeared, Remington got back into the 6mm market with a “new” cartridge the 6mm Remington. The dimensions ofthis cartridge were the same as those of the 244, but it had a new headstamp and was loaded with some bullet

weights different from the 244. Most importantly the Model 700 rifles Remington chambered for the new round featured a 1 in 9” twist, lighter weight, anda better potential as an all-around varmint/light game rifle. The 6mm Remington will handle the complete line of Hornady 6mm bullets. Owners of 1 in 12” twist 244’s can load all but one of our 6mm’s, the 100 grain Spire Point which is too long to be stabilized. The Hornady 6mm caliber 100 grain Round Nose, however, can be loaded in the 244 Remington and is quite effective on game at moderate ranges.

The 1963 introduction of the 284 Winchester brought forth a furious round of wildcatting on the new cartridge, and the 6mm/284 was perhaps the best

(and most logical) development to emerge process.

for necking it down

one

millimeter to create the 6mm/284; and since the first 6mm/284’s were developed, a much larger 243 caliber cartridge has appeared on the commercial market— the 240 Weatherby Magnum. It is highly improbable that the 6mm/284, with its limited advantages relative to standard factory 6mm cartridges, will ever see commercial development. 6mm/284’s with at least a 1 in 10” twist will handle the

full range of Hornady 6mm bullets quite well, making

this wildcat suitable both for varmints and light game. Hornady game bullets, in this as in other calibers, are

designed with thicker jackets for better penetration and can be identified by their distinctive cannelures.

This 7mm entry in the Weatherby magnum series uses the same case as the 257 and 270 WM’s but accepts the .284” diameter bullet. Effective and popular in the Weatherby line of high velocity cartridges, the 7mm was developed in 1944 and has been used to good advantage on all game on the continent and many African species.

At home on the plains or veldt where its flat trajectory ives the hunter more assurance on distant shots, the

plenty of power. Weatherby rifles with a | in 12” twist will shoot all 7mm Hornady Bullets well with one exception: the 175 grain Spire Point. The 1 in 12” twist is too slow to stabilize this long .284” bullet, one’which was introduced first for the 7mm Remington Magnum with its faster 1 in 94%” twist. New Weatherby 7mm magnums are made with a faster twist (1 in

In the late 1930’s both the Italians and the Japanese, their military designs becoming clearer, elected to replace older 6.5mm service arms with larger caliber (and presumably more effective) weapons. For both nations the conversion decision was an ill-timed and rather expensive failure.

The 7.35mm Carcano was adopted as vice cartridge in 1938. A necked-up older 6.5mm Carcano, it was designed equivalent pressure levels but with grain) bullet which would reach higher

the Italian serversion of the to be loaded to a lighter (128 velocities.

As Italy’s military involvements deepened, so too did its production and logistical problems. During WWII the nation returned to its 6.5mm Carcano as its basic service cartridge, and most of the 7.35mm rifles and ammunition it had produced went into storage for the duration of the war. Some of this material did see action—but in the hands of Finnish troops against the Russians.

Sold in the U.S. as a surplus military import at understandably low prices the 7.35mm Carcano has such a poor action that costly sporterizing was seldom undertaken. The 128 grain 7.35mm (.300”) Hornady Spire Point we once made for this cartridge was discontinued in 1970 for lack of interest in the cartridge. For those reloaders who still have a supply of this bullet (or can locate one at their dealers) we are again publishing loads for the 7.35mm.

The 7.5mm Schmidt Rubin, officially adopted by the Swiss in 1889, is a distinctive straight pull bolt action rifle which in four basic models (1889, 1889/86, 1911,

and 31) has been in service from its introduction until the present. (Its replacement: the new Model 57 assault rifle which fires the standard Model 11 7.5mm Schmidt Rubin cartridge.) The

Rubin cartridge, a

more potent version of the first cartridge developed for the 7.5mm rifle, was loaded with a .307” 174

grain

bullet toa velocity of 2720 fps. Regular 30 Pines (.308”) bullets may be used to reload the cartridge. Reloaders should note, however, that the Model 11 cartridge for which loading data is given is suitable for use only in Model 1896/11, Model 1911, or Model 31 Schmidt Rubin rifles. Because the case head is not fully supported in Schmidt Rubin rifles, overloads can be extremely dangerous. A ruptured case or blown primer can send hot gas back through the action to wreck both rifle and shooter. Approach maximum listed loads with extra caution.

The obsolete 32 Winchester Self Loading cartridge was the basis for the 30 M1 Carbine round developed by Winchester on a crash basis in 1940 and adopted

for military production in that firm’s Carbine the following year. The military sought a replacement for the 45 caliber semi-auto side arm, and reasoned that a short, light, fast handling carbine could be used more

easily and accurately than the pistol in many combat situations. The 30 M1 Carbine has had a controversial military career and perhaps an even more controversial civilian life. But the Carbine seems to have considerable

romance for a great many shooters, and now not only military issue rifles are on the market, claimed” Carbines are being manufactured

but “refrom old

parts and entirely new rifles are being produced to the original design. Marlin has introduced its Model 62 for the 30 M1 Carbine round, and 22 rimfire

copies are

making

a strong

appearance

on the

market.

The 30 M1 Carbine lacks stopping power as a hunting round, and the rifle itself lacks accuracy for varminting at any distance. For plinking, the Hornady 100 grain 30 caliber Short Jacket gives acceptable accuracy at an economical Rnee, and the 110

grain Round Nose is a jacketed bullet designed for optimum expansion in short range hunting. 195

Since its introduction in 1895 as the first domestic high velocity smokeless powder sporting cartridge, the 30-30 Winchester has become the most popular deer and black bear cartridge in the nation. This rimmed cartridge is well suited to the lever action ri-

fles which have commonly been chambered for it, such as the Winchester

Model

94 and the Marlin

Model 336. It is definitely a moderate range cartridge, at its best only up to 100-150 yards. The two most popular Hornady Bullets for reloading the 30-30 are the 150 grain Round Nose and the 170 grain Flat Point (a bullet specifically designed for the tubular magazines of most lever actions). Spire Point bullets are generally not recommended for tubular magazines as there is some danger of the sharp points setting off other rounds when the gun recoils, and point deformation in such a magazine becomes a serious problem. The 30-30 is often used by farmers for varmint hunting, and can be loaded

tage with 100 grain Hornady Round Nose bullets.

The 30 Remington, a rimless version of the 30-30 cartridge, is nearly identical to its more popular cousin in capacity and performance, and 30-30 loading data may be used to reload it also. 197

210

The 300 Savage offers hunting performance much superior to that of the 30-30 Winchester, and though

it never achieved the 30-30’s popularity it has been a widely used big game cartridge, ample for all but the largest North American species. The rifle in which it was introduced in 1921—the Model 99 Savage lever action—has been the most popular of all the rifles chambered for it.

The 300 Savage was first loaded to equal the power of original military 30-06 loadings with the 150 grain bullets. Lever actions and the capacity of the case have kept it from equaling the handloading potential of the 30-06 or the more recent 308 Winchester cartridge. The 308, indeed, has superseded the 300 Savage because of its greater power and today is generally chambered in place of the Savage Arms Company development. A very wide selection of 30 caliber Hornady Bullets may be handloaded in the 300 Savage case, with 150 and 165 grain weights among the most popular. (Unlike lever actions with tubular magazines, the Model

99 Savage has a rotary magazine which will accommodate the ballistically more efficient Spire Points in these weights.) 4064

DESIGNATIONS:

Various cartridge maming systems have been and are employed. Some cartridges are named by caliber and inventor or factory (257 Roberts, 284 Winchester); by special trade names (22 Hornet); by caliber and velocity (250-3000 Savage); by caliber and year of introduction (30-’06, for 1906); by caliber and case from which new

cartridge

was

made

(22-250, 6mm/

284); by alteration of original case design (30-06 Improved); in Europe, by metric measurement of caliber and case length (7mm x 57 mm); and by caliber, powder charge, and bullet weight (45-70500 for 45 caliber, 70 grains of black powder, and a 500 grain bullet). CASE: Or cartridge case; that paper, plastic, or metal container which holds all other components of fixed ammunition. Basic case designs are straight, tapered, or bottle necked. For cartridge head styles see also cases listed as Belted, Rebated Rim, Rimless,

Rimmed,
