Hi Ken,
I just hate it when a query goes without a reply. I tried some several years ago in a .308. using 55gr Horn SP and 2015. After trying to put a couple of groups on paper at a 100yds I came to the conclusion that a round of 00 buck from my 12ga aside from the velocity difference shoots just as well. Granted after only seeing a couple of holes in the target further interest was quickly lost. I have not tried any Rem factory rounds. Maybe you could talk your buddy out of a round and disassmeble it and see what the powder charge weight is. Granted there is no way to determine the powder type, but at least one will get some idea if it is ball or extruded, short or long grained. The only available data I have found requires the purchase of new sabots, nothing like spending more good money after bad. Reckon there is a reason we have the light weight .30 cal. V-max and TNTs. Sorry I wasn't able to provide what you were looking for.
All the best, Michael.
