So my father-in-law stops by with a box of bullets and...

[AlanR]

100 once fired .308 Winny Factory brass (from Winny 168 gr. BT match ammo) and tells me to load up more match ammo. He was kind enough to supply the dies :grin: The bullets are 168 gr. Nosler Custom Competitions. What powder/primer combo should I buy to "replicate" his match ammo expectation?

My heavy barrel Savage 308 is very happy with RL-15 and Federal match primers.

Because Winchester uses a blend powder mix, you can never duplicate. BUT you can improve on it!

We have had great success with Varget or RL-15 and Fed 210M

I've had very good luck with Varget and CCI BR-2s. Second choice would be RL-15 and 210Ms.

Thank you fore the feedback and suggestions.

I've had excellent results with those bullets and 42.5 grains of IMR 4064, Federal GM210M primers, and overall length of 2.810 in my 700 VLS.
