Hi Folks,
I just purchased 168 g Sierra TMKs for my .308 Win. Unfortunately I can find any load data online. I was going to order the Sierra Reloading manual (6th ed.) but it is sold out.
Can someone please provide me with a Max load and Max velocity values for Reloader 15 (that's all I have).
I looked at the Alliant website, and based on their data for a Sierra 168 g Matchking, I was thinking I would use 39.9 grains of R15 and a velocity of 2700 fps as my maximum values for each (i.e., If velocities exceeded 2700 FPS, I would stop even if other over-pressure indicators not encountered).
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

Download Sierra's app, I think it costs $5/year.
If you do you'll find it that it takes quite a bit more RE15 than that to reach 2700.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide 308, 168MK, RL15, 43.6 grains max = 2700. From Sierra.
