Suppressors Harvester loads

[BigDaddy0381]

I have not be able to find much recommended load data for these cans. Any thoughts on if I will have problems with my loads below before tweaking with cans on.


harvester big bore
300rum 28inch barrel 210gr Berger with 94gr of Retumbo

harvester 30
300winmag 26inch barrel 210gr Berger with 76gr of H1000
or 168 gr Berger with 74gr of H4831sc

.243 26inch barrel 95ge Berger with 46gr of varget.

You need to load develop for the rifle with the can on. Back the loads down and ladder test up to where you are getting acceptable velocity with no pressure signs. Always remember that a suppressor ADDS pressure to your weapon system. It would be even more so in a semi auto.

I understand but wanted to give the tried and try a shot before unloading 200+ rounds for each rifle.

Doesn't mean you have to unload them. Save them for unsuppressed shooting. You can surely try it but make sure you note the jump in FPS with a chrono and watch for cratered primers.

But I can almost promise you will need to taper your load to maintain performance and accuracy with the use of a suppressor.

Similar question with 300WM. I'm shooting factory Federal match loads. I know the bullet is 190gr but that's about it. I have a harvester on the way. Should I be concerned with my factory loads?

Factory ammo is usually not loaded that hot…. really depends on your barrel. Each of them like a little something different.

Harvester loads

That's kinda what I thought. I'll keep an eye on things of course.
