Re: Favorite 308 loads
VERY NEAR MAX Load and I am still tweaking it a bit, but it is .6 to .8 MOA so far, out to 300 yds...
Savage, bone stock, 10 FCP-K
24" barrel, should be around 2700-2750 fps but have not cronied
44.8 grains Varget
Win Brass
Win Lrg Rifle Primer
175 grn Sierra MK
2.815" Cartridge overall Length
Loads have been shrinking as I add more powder, so I will CAUTIOUSLY go up but expect to see pressures signs VERY SOON.
None yet, however.

Re: Favorite 308 loads
what gun are you using rdinak and what kind of groups are you getting, i think a heavy bullet like that would do well in my 700 5R.
