Thats one of the joys of 308, loads to learn and try out and very rewarding when it all comes together....

They work OK out of mine as you saw.paulbradley wrote:I'm load developing this week for 1000yds. Rifle is a .308 Remington 700, 26" varmint barrel. I'll be using the lapua 170g LBs and HBC 155s. The 170s have been excellent up to 600 so we shall see. I'll be spending a lot of time inspecting brass for signs of pressure I think.. I'm really enjoying the learning process and the load development and tinkering are a big part of the fun that is shooting for me. I'm glad I selected .308 as it has forced me to read and learn.
I have the exact same rifle. The club member I bought it off had great success with Lapua brass and 155gn Scenars with V540. Cannot remember the exact load but likely different for your particular rifle. Mine likes the Privi Match HPBT in 168 out to about 900 when they get a bit flaky. But that's probably down to me.paulbradley wrote:I'm load developing this week for 1000yds. Rifle is a .308 Remington 700, 26" varmint barrel. I'll be using the lapua 170g LBs and HBC 155s.
