There is no one recipe.  Are you using Nosler or Sierra bullets?

Some use RL-15, others use TAC, still others use Varget.

I use H4895 as I can live with a bit less velocity to save my brass and Remington 7.5 primers.  Other people like CCI-450, or CCI-#41.

IMO, if you do not have access to Lapua brass, use Winchester.  Of course, other people will have other opinions.

I would find virgin LC brass for that.

I have been using Varget, CCI #41 primers, and Win. brass with the Serria bullet. I have wanting to try TAC to get a little more velocity but it is hard to find in my area.

There is no recipe as the powder that is used is not available to reloaders......are there recipes that people have worked up and developed for their rifles that are close...sure....but thats for their rifles.....I'd suggest you work up yer loads until you find the velocity you are seeking or until you hit the pressure signs......either way, yer question leads me to believe you are new to reloading, so may I suggest read some reloading books and be careful.  Dont just load to max charges and hope you re-created Mk262....there are 2 types of reloaders, OLD reloaders and BOLD reloaders, but there are no OLD BOLD reloaders.

This requires LEG WORK!  Not stroking the keyboard!  You load up the usual suspects, work up a load over the chronograph using prudent reloading practices.
Any more then that is pure supposition.

This question almost needs to be tacked.

No it doesn't.  What is needed is members that are willing to read through the information that is already available to them here.

It's a question that doesn't need to be asked before researching resources that so simple to find that a caveman could do it.  Start with the Ammo Oracle, and then the Resources and tacked threads at the top of this forum.  Looking on pages 2 and 3 of this forum is a novel idea, too, and every single person that comes here can use the search function in this forum.

In truth, threads with this question need to be deleted to free up the forum for productive questions.

I know brother I was trying to be funny.

This gets asked so much.

The search function on this forum is absolutely useless unless you pay.  So telling people to use the search is useless.  If they made the search useable, there wouldn't be near as many questions about which lower is best and how do you duplicate XX load.

The search is useable.  You cannot go back far.

The advise about using the ammo oracle is good.

Also look at this informaton that is in the reloading section of this site.

Armory » Reloading » Reloading database for rifle and pistol » Reloading Database - Rifle

The data is both .txt and .xls format.

The number of questons wouldn't change by even 1 per year.  It's impossible to count the number of times two threads with the same question are on page 1.  Even if you can search only 3 months, that more than covers the most common questions in this forum.  The truth is, people want to be spoon fed the answers after the least possible work expended.
