Come on mathman, you have some tried and true 150gr loads that would work. I know you are a 308 lover and have tried a few 150gr loads. Hell, i hate the 308 and could come up with some tried and proven loads for the 308 rifles ive owned in the past. Use Varget, RL15, 4064 etc. Somewhere in the 45gr ballpark for any of those powders.


Yeah, but the way the OP was written I suspected an M1A may be involved so my 150 grain loads (which tended to be stiff, like 47+ grains of Varget in Lapua brass) wouldn't be appropriate. The 200 yard specific request also led me to think a lighter type load was desired. My experiments with short to mid range target loads have been about 2550 +/- fps with a 168. Think along the lines of LC M852 match. Those loads have worked from very to extremely well in every rifle tried.
