210gr Berger in .308

[shockwave]

I was just wondering if anyone had any info on where to start with the loading of 210gr Berger in .308. Looking to try this load combo out. Looked on Hogdon site but no data for 210gr bullet. Thanks in advance

Send an e-mail to Berger. Theres a link on their website, or there used to be, to ask for load data. They got back to me quickly with all the data I asked for and then some.

Sierra has lots of loads for 200 grains. They may be a touch hot for 210, so start at minimum and work up carefully. Sierra loads tend to be lighter than others so you may find even the max is OK for the 210.

Do you have the 1 in 11 twist that Berger says they need?

There are a couple of threads on the Hide using RL-17 and the 208 AMAX, which is similar weight:

I did some testing with the 208/210's, think I started at ~43 gr. with RL-17: http://tinyurl.com/yjk48ep

There is some N550 data in it as well...

These were the zeroing groups (210 BT and 210 VLD are Bergers):
