Hello Guys,

With the COVID breakdown, I have started reloading again, but I don't have the Lapua and Berger reloading manuals, but I have Lapua Scenar bullets and Berger VLD bullets. I believe the Lapua manual is discontinued and the Berger manual apparently doesn't have 338 information (hoping to get 338 at some point).

I currently have an SRSA2 in 6.5 creedmoor and .308 win that I am trying to load.

I currently am using Varget for my 308 loads, but haven't confirmed what powder to use for 6.5 creedmoor (recommendations welcome).
 
6.5 creed:

Berger 140 VLD target
Lapua 139 OTM Scenar

308

Berger: 175 VLD target
Scenar: 185 OTM scenar
