My 308 loves the 155s and 46.5 gr of 4064. Work up to it. The only other powder that came close for accuracy was R-15 but was slower. I get 2930 out of a 23" barrel using Lapua brass, and 210 primers.

Powder Charge?

Tanner, TAC is good with 155's too, if you have any of that. If you want to try some let me know, I have a big jug. Or Varget for that matter.

"Pressure tested" as in "I've fired them in my rifle and it hasn't blown up yet"

Or

"We hooked up a piezo and it registered at 63K"

Big difference between the two...

No free rides, thats for sure.

Tanner, report back to us when you shoot the rifle. I'm interested to hear how it does.

It's a stupid question. 48.5gr is max for a 180 with a MUCH longer bearing surface then the Juggernaut. This lot at 48.6gr with a Juggernaut, this case and primer loaded to 2.930 has been tested by a third party using propper pressure testing equipment to be within Saami spec. If you can't read sign, I can't help you.


I clearly said that the 2,900fps load was not within Saami spec, though it's not ridiculous either.

Only stupid to you..... your the one that said it was pressure tested I was just asking for a little extra info, you seem to be a little irritated by a couple easy questions that were asked by others as well,
I don't believe you would have come back to answer the ?'s if I did not mention you were skirting the issue's, your the one that painted yourself into a corner and your still being pretty vague, "me reading sign" but it's your story and can tell it anyway you want!

I really don't think it matters very much. FormD shoots a fugging ton and seems to hit what he is pointing his rifle at a large majority of the time. If he was going to blow a gun up, I believe it would've already happened.
