Suggestions for .308 Win load

[Guy Miner]

yes it is...

Has anyone tried Varget with the 125 BT ?

 

[Guy Miner]

Yes. Good for 3100+ fps and excellent accuracy.

Lethal on whitetail.

I did try Varget but did not get the accuracy I do with W748 & 125gr Ballistic tip. I picked up 100 Federal LC15 brass and it is 30gr heavier than WW brass, with a 50gr W748 capacity with the 125gr BT

Someone posted a picture of a big delivery of 308 match ammo. This was the load data printed on the invoice. Federal Gold Metal Match: 175gr sierra MK, Fed210M, IMR4064, 41.745gr, federal Brass. Which I assume is the LC variety with the crosshair stamp.

I'm kicking around the idea of getting a Tikka model .308 or one of Remington's 12" twist 700 variants. I want to shoot 125's and 150's because I have several hundred of each left over from the .300 blkout venture and I have a lot of 748, 15, and Varget. For anyone that has tried it, how has the accuracy been with 125's at 200-400 yards?

Varget has always been my go to powder in .308Win. When it became scarce awhile back I tried a pound of IMR 8208 XBR. I found it to be extremely accurate and have shot several sub half minute groups with it. The bullet I was using was Hornady A Max 155gr.
Give it a try, I think you will like it.

Went to the range the other day to get ready for deer season. This is group
I came away with. I have a Rem. 700 with a Hart barrel. I’ve always been a big
fan of RL-15 you can’t go wrong with it.

 

[Wyo7200]

Sweet! What twist rate is your hart?

 

[lar383]

It's 1-12 24" standard Rem. contour...

 

[Guy Miner]

Nice! Hart makes a very good barrel!

Welcome aboard, lar383. You definitely have the accuracy showing in that load. That has to put a smile on your face.
