Sierra load info

Yup, I know this is a Nosler forum but sometimes you just stray a bit. Anyone have a Sierra manual they’d screenshot and post for the .308 Win using a 165 Sierra Game King bullet?

Never used it. I’ve been able to whittle my rifle powder down to 4895 and 4350 for around 12 or so rifles I load for.

TAC AND/OR CFE223 ARE MY GO-TO'S IN THE 150-168'S regardless of brands.

Thank you, very much appreciated. I figured I’d start with some H4895 today and see how they shoot. It’s a Tikka compact with a 20 inch barrel so I’m not expecting max speeds, just hoping for some decent accuracy.

Varget, IMR4895, TAC, CFE223, H4895 and RL15(both hard to find) IMR4064 all good. What you have is good start. Dan.

So I ran some H4895 today. 42.5 grains yielded a .63 inch group for 4 shots. 43 had 3 shots just a smidge tighter but the 4th shot opened up a bit and ran 40 fps faster for that final shot. Going back this weekend with some more at 43 and some at 43.5.

Looks like you might be on to something.
