Does anyone have reloading data that would duplicate 7.62 NATO (.308) loadings I am reloading for several Semi-autos and would like some thing that matched the pressure curves so the gas systems would be working at optimum range. Thanks

I'll try those loads.:)
The latest Hornady reloading manual lists duplicate 7.62 loads intended for the semi auto M1A.
What you need is a copy of the Army Ammunition Data Sheets, Small Caliber Ammunition, TM 43-0001-27 which can be found at http://www.biggerhammer.net/manuals/tm43-0001-27.pdf

That link wouldn't work for me. Those loads listed above are Milspec brass, correct?
Edward,
Can you take a 1.2 meg e-mail if I zip it up?
