Try 41.8 at 2.800...... Nosler 165 BT's or 165 SGK's Dr. Mike was right 8208 was a decent powder for .308 almost as good as Varget. I got pressure before I got a 2nd node in my 700 it builds pressure fast be careful. That's my experience in my gun.

Mike Lucas makes the best bore guides I have ever used he has made several for me. Here's the info were I contacted him last. Mike Lucas Please use E-mail if possible. 225 Browns River Road Lexington, SC 29072 email: lucasmjb@windstream.net

.340 is the real deal.... :mrgreen:

What process and how are you annealing your cases ? Just curious.

Thats correct Guy. 165's These also are Cup and core correct ? I'm going to load some Accubonds with the IMR and see if the results are the same.

Nice!

After reading several knowledgeable members posts about BT's I decided to try some with know powders and chgs. My favorite load of varget and the Accubonds didn't do as well as I hoped but the 8208 did well except for the monkeys in both the groups. Accubonds w/Varget & BT's w/8208. Cant wait to...

Now that is Shooting !

I could print this picture as a target and you and me both can try... :lol:

Where I live a bug hole is the thing those boring bees make

Looks like you got the load. and the group looks good. 7 mag is a lot of gun. Great shooting

Wish I could get some .338 250gr Accubonds....... :mrgreen:

I bought it to try cause no Varget. I read the same thing about not being temp sensitive. Don't forget to post you findings when you get going I'm interested how it will work for you. It pressured up quickly for me. Good Shooting

:wink: 90 deg is normal shooting weather in Barnesville

But they shoot soooo good. :lol:

Everybody from Pulaski County and the Ocmulgee can shoot good.

One thing I forgot.. In MY testing I found a significant increase in velocity as temps went up....45 deg to 73 deg. I had speeds of 50-70 fps faster at 73 same load I did it because we had huge temps swings that week I was shooting. I have the targets dated with temp and speeds in my log...so...

I have had good results using 8208 almost as good as Varget. Anything over 42.5 started to open up 41.8 was real good but I settled on 42.2. I used SMK 168 for initial testing I'm sure PT's would do as well. Skid

This is also they way I do it. If I want to work to a max load I use case head measurements to tell me when to stop. And use a mic not calipers unless you got good ones. Heavy lift means you got problems that are dangerous. It aint worth it. Start over. Measure for COAL with your chosen bullet...

Not sure what contour you have but Here you go. I think a two tone would look nice in wood. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Weatherby-Mark- ... 1488536739
