I worked up with some Varget in my 308 Tikka 20 inch bbl. Used my favorite hunting bullet, the 165 hornady sp and some 150 grain Sierra pro hunters.
45 grains Varget seems to be the sweet spot for my gun with the 165's. With winchester brass, CCI 200 primers, and OAL of 2.805 I averaged 0.76 inches for 3 shots (average of 3 groups). The groups were very consistent.
The 150 grainers did not shoot as well but were the best at 46 grains (same brass, same primers, and OAL) averaging 0.85 inch for 3x3 shot groups.
I found a guy with a chronograph that is going to check the velocity of my IMR 4895 top loads and my varget loads. Will publish as soon as I get the results.
I think I am getting addicted to reloading.
