Hornady Match 30 cal 190 grain Boat Tail Hollowpoint

[Oldloser]

I found about 1000 of these in my dad’s stuff. Any reloading data or comments appreciated.

In one of the photos from left to right, the bullet in question, Nosler 175gr RDF 30 cal, and the SMK 175gr 30 cal. in comparison.

That has to be from the 70's or maybe even the late 60s....

Find a similar bullet weight and design and drop a few % in powder. You should be good to go. Also, see if you can find some old Lyman reloading manuals, they had listings for various bullet manufacturers. I might have something from the early 80's I could check, have to find it first though

What cartridge will you be loading them in? If it's the #3080 bullet my 1991 Hornady #4 manual has data for them.

Going to try a 308 and then a 300 WM.
