Thank you, mathman. It seems that the 308 win can struggle to get those 165 gr bullets to 2700? Perhaps the 150 gr bullets is better choice for the 308 win's case capacity?


That varies with the barrel and chamber. I load for two 24" barreled Kimbers where 46 grans of Varget will post nearly 2750 with a 165.
