I have just finished reloading another 8 rounds of 46.0grs Varget and the 165gr Part. Also loaded another set of 4 rounds of 44.0grs Varget and the 165 Part. Heading to the range on Tuesday and will see what it looks like again.

Ahhh Thanks I will have to do that in future, so they are not so big. Hopefully.

I confirmed that both Nosler Manuals #6 and #7 have the same data sets for the 165gr bullet and Varget powders. Hodgdon's site has this data for 165gr bullet .308 Winchester: Bullet Wt(Gr.) Manuf Powder Bullet Diam. C.O.L. Grs. Vel. Pressure Grs. Vel. Pressure...

Antelope_Sniper wrote: N6, with a .308 size case I'd use .5gr increments. A full grain is fine for a RUM size case, but too much for a mid size case. If you start at 42gr and load 4 per increment, one box of 20 takes you to 44gr, the book max. This will provide a moderate increase of 2k PSI...

According to this table 46.0grs of Varget is a "DAGEROUS LOAD DO NOT USE" and 110%, so a very compressed load. This is now starting to have me slightly worried and confused. If it is 110% capacity how do I get the powder in enough to start seating the bullet?

So I guess I am going to load up a few more 46.0gr Varget loads and head back to the range a try it again. I did not see any signs of over pressure on the cartridge at all. I did have a case seperation, but I believe that one due to being my older Dominion brass that has been reloaded 10+...

Thanks guys. I am a bit confused though as some info that was written on Canadian Gunnutz was as below posted by some others:: "46 gr of Varget is a fairly hot load with 155 gr bullets out of a bolt gun with a 30 inch barrel. I would think the same load with a heavier bullet out of a lever...

I know I am probably boring many with this info request, but here goes. I have just loaded and tried Varget powder and 165gr Nosler Part bullets for my .308 Browning BLR which I believe is a 19.5" barrel. The results vary, and I am wondering what loads have worked best for others with a short...

Thanks, I am going to load another set up and make sure I can duplicate this success again before fully committing to this load. That being said it does look pretty darn good when I look at it a day later. That old rifle has always been extremely accurate with IMR4350 powder. I am looking...

That is great shooting. I am currently switching to Varget and have been playing some today. I did just post a couple pics of what 44.0grs vs 46.0grs were for me. I am not a fan of max loads, but the grouped was very tight except for the one pulled shot. I might try the 44.5grs and see what...

Well I finally got to the range after recovering from a knee surgery all winter. Again I am shooting a 1970 Browning BLR .308. I use 165gr Nosler Part bullets and switch to Varget powder. Looking at the data from the Nosler #7 manual it shows that 44.0grs of Varget was their most accurate...

Hey Vince I have used IMR4350 powder in my 30-06, 165gr and 180gr Nosler Pt and .308, 165gr Nosler Pt for the past 30+ yrs and it has worked great. Very reliable. I am going to try Varget for my .308 and H4350 in my 30-06 just to see what the difference is. As long as I am at the range having...

I have not seen my new #7 manual yet as it is still being shipped. I will have to go through the 30-06 and .308 data sets very carefully and see if I can find any differences. Hopefully it is not a manual that will collect more dust than get used as much as my #6.

I could'nt have said it better. My Win Mod 70 30-06 with the 180 gr Partitions has never let me down. All animals that have been hit with this bullet have dropped pretty much where they stood. I have never tried the Accubond, and was considering trying until after info gathered I really was...

Thanks Guy, I am so excited to get to the range as soon as I am able to try them out. I am planning to sight them both in for DOA 50yds. That will make it more fun to stretch them out to 100yds and farther.

I have just mounted scopes on both of my dads old Cooey Mod 60's. They both have a slight off set for scope alliagnment. Has anyone come across this and I am assuming for a 22LR it will not be much of a factor once sighted in for 50yds. I know a centerfire rifle would be a problem. Has...

I have just purchased a can. Never have used it, but watched a video and was impressed. I am a little stumped as to how I will run it through my 1970 Browning BLR. I am not striping it down to remove the bolt to access. How does one go about running a patch thru to clean out? I was thinking...

I hear exactly what you are saying. I have picked up 1000 CCI200 primer a couple of cans of powder for each rifle and a box of partitions for each. I will not write what I have paid for it because I cry when I compare to the prices below the border.

I have used Walnut when the cases have been severly tarnished, but have switched the media to the corn cob to finish them further to a shiney finish. I also started with the treated corn cob media and used the additive after a while. Other than that I have not see an animal that wanted a case...
