Load data for Hornady 168 Gr BTHP Match

[ifsta4]

Looking for some load data for my 308. I have some Hornady 168gr BTHP match bullets and either Varget or imr 4320.

Any help would be great.

I use a military surplus powder with that bullet in one of my 308's, but the new 8th edition of the Hornady manual gives 44 gr of Varget as the max. Reduce by 5% and start working up. Past experience with 4320 gives 43-45 gr. - dan

Thank you for the info, I hate having to buy the reloading manual for each brand of bullets, and reloading equipment, if you need anything from Lee or Lyman, or Lapua, I have goth that info....
