308 recipies anyone?

[Sevensixtwo]

I was looking to see if anyone had any they would to share.

What barrel are you shooting out of ? Twist ? Long range ?

 

[Craig0ry]

I use 150grain bullets and 44 grains of either rl15 or varget and get awsome results out of my rem 700. I use the same recipe with 155 grain bergers to shoot 1000 yards although they arnt hitting hard at that range with a light bullet.

168g hornady BTHP or Amax I used 44.8g Varget .010 from lands. Or 155.5g Bergers 47g Varget IIRC there .040 from lands. And a ground hog round for fun is 110g Vmax with 49.6g varget loaded to book length very fast out of a 29" barrel approaching 3300 fps.
Of course make sure to reduce any loads you find and work up something that is safe. What is safe for me may not be for others.

 

[CanuckWR]

I am using 44.5gr varget with a 168gr Hornaday AMAX, 2750fps in my 26" barrel.

Effective out to 1400yrds so far.

 

[Rocket Surgery]

165 jacketed btsp's with 43.5 RL15 and Dominion Arms NATO brass shoot best for me.

Optimum bullet for 308 win is 150 - 155 gr.
4895 powder

 

[smak_daddy]

My goto 308 load:

155 gr Sierra Palmas
46 gr varget

 

[Longshot]

What do you want it to do? Cheap plinker? Kill paper accurately? Hunting?

 

[gushulak]

175gr. SMK, Win brass, 43.0gr. Varget, Federal 210M primer. My go to load for 1000yard shooting.

 

[polaris]

150 grs Hornady FMJ over 41 grs of Varget.
This is a mild shooting but very accurate load in all my 308 rifles:

• Anschuetz Mod. 1574
• Remington 700VLS
• Norinco M14

 

[Sevensixtwo]

Hunt at long range or target practice. Im shooting a modified Norinco M14 full barrel length.

 

[blargon]

44gr imr4895 under a 165 gr bullet, 210M primer.

 

[Brutus]

155 Scenars
45.6 grains Varget
210M primer

Shoots very well in both of my bolt action target rifles.

Edit: This is a fairly steamy load. In my 29inch barrelled rifle, averages 2925 fps.

My Israeli Mauser likes 14Gr of Promo under Lee .312 155Gr cast (WW) sized .311.Necks sized cases and Win primer are a must.

Anyone got a go to load for a Savage 99 in 308? I've heard they have a different rate of twist than most rifles? I'm having a bit of a time getting it to group well. And if it makes any difference, I'd like to take a Mulie with it this year.

 

[TargetNorth]

I've been loading 41g VARGET and 150gr Hornady SP's in my M14. Really light load (2500fps) but it's just a plinking load...

Don't forget to try some lighter for caliber bullets. they sometimes give good groups for rifles that don't seem to group well.

I'd recomend a skidoo helmet with a visor.
