M118LR document?

[frankprstw]

Hello

Trying to duplicate the load and wondering how it's verified.
Can anyone point a direction to where to have a look at MIL-DTL-32288A?

Thanks

Have you tried using the internet?

Cause I did and I found it in less than 10 seconds.

Go to the search bar above and enter Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal Match load by Dan Newberry. That which you seek is down in the thread.

That’s not m118LR.

That’s not m118LR.

Reading comprehension is not a strong skill around here

Anyway, I found what the OP is looking for in seconds and I told him right where to look. It wasn't even hard. I copied the mil spec he needs right into a search browser and a link to a website where you can buy it was THE very first result.

Apparently he wants others to do his work for him.

Well I did the same thing but none of the search results actually provide the document, just links to buy it. I think the OP is looking for anyone is willing to share the document if they have it.

Frank: M118lR was loaded with RL-15, LC brass, rated @ 2600 FPS ,2627 FPE . As a alternative Federal’s GMM, 175 gr SMK is basically the same load. MK316 is the same load only using IMR-4064 .According to all the data these specifications are all from a 24 inch barrel.

It's in here. This is an older one.

WC 750 hasn't been used in M118 LR in over 20 years since Olin ran Lake City. ATK got the Army to approve a change to RL-15.

Fed Gold Medal Match uses IMR 4064, as does Mark 316 (they are both made on the same production line).

M118 Long Range (DODIC AA11):

There is so much misinformation and confusion re the M118LR

Yep, and same with mk316. I’ve pulled samples from its various year lots over the past ten years, and 4064 hasn’t been what’s in it. At least m118LR (from the GWOT era up through 2010ish, as that’s all I’m familiar with before switching to mk316) retained RL15. Just kept reducing the charge weight as the years went on.

I have some M118 173gr loaded to 2.830” but I think all the SMK rounds were loaded shorter than that.
