I bought some Peterson brass a while back and started messing around with some loads with mixed results.
Nosler 150 gr Ballistic Tip with 45gr IMR4064 was moa with CCI 400’s
Sunday I ran some 168 hbthp with 43.5gr R15 with CCI 450’s. Definitely had more punch than the Nosler and IMR combo.
It was very windy and I couldn’t hold still to save my life but still managed a decent group of .8 MOA
I feel confident I could close it up to < .5 if I do my part at the trigger.
With that said, those of you the load small primer brass, would you care to share your pet load?
Yes I have large primer brass and yes I load those as well.

Thanks. Right now I’m down to 2 pounds of varget. Currently saving them for the chance I dip my feet back into High-power xtc matches.
Though I do have some SW precision rifle I can work up.
May I ask what primers you used?

My best .308 loads came from using a 175 SMK and RL15.

Today I tried 168gr ELD Match, 42.5gr R15, CCI 450’s, and Peterson small primer brass.
2.810 COAL
I must admit I think I just hit the sweet spot for my rifle.
Clover leaf holes at 100 yards and about .5 moa at 200
Anyone have a good guess as what ballpark fps that load would run?
Bergara HMR 14 with 20” barrel
I’ll be able to chrono it this coming weekend. Closest guess wins the internet lol

Anyone run some LRP and SRP duplicate loads for comparison?

Velocity differences?

Each bbl is a rule unto itself.  The only way to know is chronograph it!
This Competition Electronics is a decent value.
