308 recipe for CETME

[Jimbeaux82]

Can anyone give me a good recipe for 308, 150 grain? I will be shooting it out of a CETME and want to closely duplicate the normal mil surp 147 grain load (2800 fps +/_), except using a 150 gr softpoint.

TIA

150gr BTs and 48gr of Varget have worked great in my FN FALs.

Ability to meter gas,is a nice thing.

It is! All the way off or wide open. Never have needed to really open them up.

The FAL is a better Main Battle Rifle in many areas than the M14/M1A1

You like what you like :lol:

Both are fine rifles.

Either that or you are getting good at carrying on a conversation with yourself pretty well

Getting really good at that. Most the time counting down from ten when dealing with a customer :evil:

Back to the original question.

Here's what I'm loading for my FN/FAL

150gr NBT
Win brass.
CCI bench rest primers.
47gr of WC846 (similar to BLC-2) mild load, shoots submoa.
50gr WC846 Max+ load, submoa, work up carefully. sever pressure spikes if you substitue a thicker brass, or hotter primer (don't ask how I know).

46.5 Varget
150gr bullet .308 Win
WLR Primer
Win. or Nosler Case
2840fps out of my rifle.

150gr bullet .308 Win
WLR Primer

2840fps out of my rifle.

That is almost identical to what I have loaded for my 308. Shoots the 150gr SST to 2840 out of WW cases, CCIBR2 Primer, same powder charge as well. Very accurate and just a great all around deer load. Wanna try the 150gr PT or AB for something a little tougher, but at that speed, the SST works pretty decent. Scotty
