From bullet weight I will ASSUME you are loading .308 . My 700 really likes 42 Gr of Varget with 168 Gr Match Kings. I don't know or care what the muzzle Vel is but it shoots 1/2 to 3/4 MOA all day. SS

First off becareful with getting loading data from unreliable sources....
If you consult the Hodgdon web site you will find data based on using WW cases. Do no mix cases, use only one lot of brass for loads.. You should find nirvana using Magazine Length ammo with the two bullets you have chosen. If you go to chasing the lands then you would want to look at Berger VLD's or 178gr AMax. |

In my Savage right around 44 and again just over 45 with a 168 SMK. 2.805 length in Rem or Win brass.

The sweet spot for my 5R using 175 SMK's and Varget is 44.2 grs with a CCI BR2 primers and Lapua brass. This load is on the warm side, work up slowly and watch for signs of excessive pressure.

My rem 700 and my bro's savage .308 will both shoot 1/4 moa with 43.5g varget at 2.800 OAL with 168g A-Max's....its a nice load that is under the max by quite a bit and shoots very nicely in most other .308 rifles.

My Rem 5R likes
SMK 175gr at 2610fps-1/4moa SGK 165gr at 2750fps-1/2moa VMAX 110gr at 3050fps-1/2moa Varget Lapua Brass F210M Primers Call Sierra and they will e-mail you all load data for their bullet Log onto Hogdon and they will have load data or you can call them as well. And my favorite....call Hornady and they will give you their load data. I just love their answering service! |

I've got plenty load data from the Manufactures. I was curious about pet loads you guys may be willing to offer. I have been using an older RCBS balance scale. Man I hate this thing. Right when it's balance it goes hay wire....freakin nuts.
 I'm beginning to think the charge weights are varying from round to round. But I'm answering this with an RCBS chargemaster. That little hooker will be here tommorrow. Then it's back to the drawing board.

I was thinking that too. But I have taken measures to prevent this. Good call, but I removed that variable.
