Hornady also produces a wide range handloading equipments such as presses, dies, powder measures, scales, case prepping tools, gauges, tumblers/ultrasonic cleaners and other accessories, as well as publishing a reloading data handbook that is currently in its 11th edition.
A guide to the recoil from the cartridge, and an indicator of bullet penetration potential. The .30-06 Springfield (at 2.064 lbf-s) is considered the upper limit for tolerable recoil for inexperienced rifle shooters. [2] Chg: Propellant charge, in grains; Dia: Bullet diameter, in inches; BC: Ballistic coefficient, G1 model; L: Case length (mm)
[5] [6] Reloaders have a variety of bullets to choose from, and Hornady lists load data for the cartridge. [4] Reloaders should be aware of whether their rifle does, or does not, have freebore before using load data developed with more modern components. [7] Cases can also be formed from 7mm Remington Magnum cases. [8]

The table below shows how the rounds compare. Reloading data for 200-grain (13 g) bullets for some of the cartridges is not available.

The table below shows how the rounds compare. Note that reloading data for 160-grain (10 g) bullets for some of the cartridges is not available. This round was designed with an elastomer tip, so that the .308 designed would be safe for the tubular magazine of lever action rifles.
The Hornady Superformance ammunition drives a 270-grain (17 g) SP-RP bullet at 2,840 ft/s (870 m/s) and the 300-grain (19 g) DGS and DGX bullets at 2,660 ft/s (810 m/s). The original Hornady loads were not Superformance, but had the same velocity, with the Superformance loading offering lower recoil due to a smaller propellant charge, and less ...
