Well Known Nuisance
My hornady book and it shows this powder will work for all 3 calibers. So far I've been using unique and titegroup for my pistols and am pleased with the performance. Trying to get the most bang for the buck.
For the .308 and 30-06 for longer range performance relative to the flattest trajectory possible you want pointed bullets. For supersonic 300 black out loads pointed bullets are likely also a good idea.Gonna pick up a can of lil gun today, matching it with hornady 165gr interlock sp # 3040. May pick up some heavy bullets (208 gr) as well as lighter ones (110gr) to fool with. I really like the hornady bullets prob make them my main bullets, I also bought the hornady reloading book. If they don't have any brass, ill buy some Walmart stuff and blast it out.
Round nose bullets or pointed?? Make a difference??
I have not seen what loads you are contemplating to use. A 30-06 can hold up to 60 grains of powder that is far more than what a 300 black out can hold. Large capacity cases perform best with slower burning powders than what will work best in a 300 black out that is a very small case.Hodgdon LIL'GUN is an advanced technology propellant design just for the 410 Bore. The 410 shotshell has long been difficult to load due to shortcomings in powder fit, metering, and burning characteristics. Not any more! LIL'GUN was designed to fit, meter and perform flawlessly in the 410 Bore. No more spilled shot or bulged cases. In addition, LIL'GUN has many magnum pistol applications and is superb in the 22 Hornet.
At your stage of experience start with a single stage reloading press that is designed to work with rifle cases like the 30-06.
Too late. I got a loadmaster set up for 9mm for $200, powder,primers etc, still in the box. Have it mounted on a harbor freight table. Been cranking out 45 colt, and shooting them about ad fast as I make them. Been making them one at a time. Loaded about 300 and only had one goof. Forgot to put powder in one, better than double loading I guess.

I pulled the case feeder and bullet feeder off.
There a special dies to prevent seating bullets on cases that do not have powder for progressive press. The downside of such presses is that you can not readily inspect the cases to see if there is powder in the case prior to seating the bullets.Loaded about 300 and only had one goof.
