first question is the Berger VLD 175 Gr. to heavy for a .308 18 inch 1/10 twist?
can someone post load data powders on hand. Thank you n140 varget XBR 322 748 |

1:10 twist should be fine for 175gr. bullet.
Check this link out for load data for .308. http://www.handloads.com/loaddata/default.asp?Caliber=308%20Winchester&Weight=All&type=rifle&Order=Powder&Source= |
| Them your good to go with Varget. An don't worry about the semis are different with an AR10 type, that's for M1a's and garands. I shoot 45.0 Varget with a 175 or 185 (185 loaded long for single feed) with no issues. Use mag primers, start at 43.0 and go up until you get accuracy, or a case swipe, when you get the swipe, start going back down until you hit accuracy again. Also a 175 VLD might not be the best choice for running through a mag. They will jump, and don't have to be jammed into the rifling, Berger website talks about how to find where it can jump. You might get lucky, might not. |
