I have one on order, but I got some unexpected reloading time and I'd love to get some rounds ready to test this weekend...

I'm loading .308, using Lapua cases, Fed GMM primers, The 165 gr. Scirocco II, and hopefully one of the following powders:

IMR 4895
IMR 4064
Varget

I can get other powders if none of those are recommended, but I'd love to at least give them a shot...

Anybody willing to list either your loads in .308 with the 165 Scirocco II or the published Swift data?

*EDIT, found this on another forum...*-

"Try them with 45.2 grains of Varget loaded .015 off lands and report back to us."

Seems to jive with the range in Nosler 6th ed for their 165-168 gr projectiles, and is just a little over the range given for Varget in Hornady 8th for their stuff (I've found Hornady's data is almost always a little lower than others, anybody else notice that?)
