Request for Recipe (.308), also info to share

[mskochinski]

Powder you have is good stuff, tried and true. You might want to try some 4895 but see how the 4064 treats you if you already have it. If you start going to the 200's and larger you might be loading singles as they probably won't fit in the magazine. But if you're shooting that range, you probably don't need the rapid fire anywise.

I did a search on this thread about the Berger 168 Hybrids but couldn't find anything. Does anyone have any data with those using H4895 or Varget?

Ok I had a question but didn't want to start another thread. Has anyone managed to get a safe load that will stay supersonic at 1,000 yards from a 20" barrel?

Or better yet, one that will do all that and fit in a AR-308 without having to single feed? I've read about some recipes that would meet the criteria but the shooters were all using bolt guns.

I'm looking into the Berger 185 VLD but that sucker is LONG.

If that's not possible what is your favorite loading for shooting at 1,000 from a 20" barrel?

Bolt guns can reliably run higher pressures than gas guns so you are fighting an uphill battle here.
Your best bet will be to shoot at really high elevations where the air is thinner as well as on really warm days while the air is thinner.
Both of those will help you.
Your worst case scenario is to shoot at Sac Valley where you are at around 100' above sea level on a cold day.

Sierra says their TMK 168 will stay supersonic at 1k, but I haven't seen anything to back that up.

I'm shooting 165 SST with H4895 43.5 grains (max load listed) right at 2700 fps 18 inch barrel. No pressure signs on win brass large win primer.

Anyone have plinking (100 yard) recipes for 147gr and CFE223? My initial searches in the thread didn't turn up anything...thanks!

Hey y’all, I’m looking to load for my AR10 (18” 1:10 twist barrel) I bought some of the Sierra MK 168gr BTHP.

Was looking for a load for this, I found AR15 recipe list for powders, but I was wondering what powder y’all get the best groups out of?

I use RL15 and Varget for my semi-auto .308 loads.

Sierra 175 HPBT MK, 42.5gr of Varget loaded into Winchester Match brass, and ignited by CCI #BR2 Large Rifle Benchrest primers. These are my Long range precision loads. Does anyone have a good 308 hunting load for CA? I'm interested in hunting either Boar or Deer.
