What are you running out of your SR-25 when it comes to handloads?

Rifle: SR-25EMC
Brass: TAA08 (7.62nato brass) trimmed to 2.005"
Primers: Federal Match
Powder: 43.6gr Varget
Bullet: Hornady 178 BTHP
OAL: 2.820"

I'm getting very good results with this load out of both my EMC and TRG-22. What are y'all running?
Have you donated to your local volunteer fire department lately?

Some of my loads:

Rifle: EMC/ MK 11
Brass: Federal trimmed to 2.00"
Primer: Federal 210M
Powder: 44.5gr Varget
Bullet: 175 SMK
OAL: 2.812"
Velocity: 2532/ 2620

Rifle: MK 11
Brass: Federal trimmed to 2.00"
Primer: Federal 210M
Powder: 43.5gr RL-15
Bullet 175gr SMK
OAL: 2.815"
This produced best group I've shot with an SR-25 - .45" @ 100yds.

Rifle: EMC - this is my carbine comp load (still can shoot about 1.5 moa)
Brass: Federal trimmed to 2.00"
Primer: Winchester WLR
Powder: 42gr Accurate 2230
Bullet: 147gr FMJ (M80 type)
OAL: 2.75"
Easy to make on my progressive, as 2230 meters well and is fairly inexpensive

I have a few more I worked up using different bullets, including some 110gr and 130gr TSX's I will post when I dig it up.
