I have many 308’s. Not until I began load development with Varget was I utterly surprised by a completely odd result which defies loading logic.
I wound up stuffing 48.5 gr Varget under a 155 Scenar in a Lapua case & pushing the bullet down until it wouldn’t go any more. Each successive compressed load never reliably measured matching seating depths, they were completely arbitrary. On the paper these nonuniform loads went into one ragged hole each time. And, they averaged 2890 fps overall.
Whould’a thunk it?
