155 gr Sierra Palma 308 load?

[Grizzlypeg]

Anyone have a 1000 yard load to share? Can't find much on this subject. This is with a 30" barrel 1:12 twist 4 groove.

46.0 grs of Varget.

I've a 28" barrel, 13 twist, and previously, I used 44.5gr of IMR 4895 with the Sierra 155's.

Currently I use the Amax 155's, with 47gr Varget. Another option is the Berger 155.5, I used 46.1gr of Varget.

 

[Grizzlypeg]

Steve, do you prefer the Amax 155's and Berger 155.5's over the new Sierra palma's?

 

[Holleyman]

Have to agree, 46.0 grains of Varget is the sweet spot for my Sportco as well

 

[maynard]

46.0 of Varget here too. Doesn't matter what 155 gr bullet you use, 46.0 works.

 

[smak_daddy]

46.0 varget for me. A lot of guys are having success with hotter loads.

 

[Grizzlypeg]

Anyone chrono that load?

 

[maynard]

2940 fps out of a 30 inch barrel with moly coated bullets. Non-moly could be slighty faster.

 

[Grizzlypeg]

That sounds great. I hope I can run that load and velocity.
