You're right about that. The company also make ammo for the military so the brass may be a bit heavier to handle use in a machine gun. I decided not to use it anymore after I got my neck sizing die caught in the neck. The brass has been annealed, but it was a job getting the neck die through. Using a Lee die.

My 2 308s seem to love 4064 and 165 sgk. Still trying to find the best load with some 150 ttsx (it wasn’t Varget for sure)

I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

How is the name of a powder a good load? Have you actually used this powder in a 308?

Why were the images removed displaying federal 'custom' ammo, yet the last image was allowed?

Yes, they really do. It appears you're fishing for pet loads, rather than just data for the combination. I'd share if I had one.

Does anyone here have data for TAC and 150gr Accubonds. I used 45.5grs of TAC with the 150's for around 2900fps out of my 308 Win.I found whatever I loaded with Varget,I drop down one less grain with TAC and had a good load with nearly the same velocity too.150gr bullets,45.5grs TAC-46.5grs Varget.165gr bullets 44.5grs of TAC-45.5grs Varget.

I mentioned in a previous post that I was using some heavy brass make by Australian Defence Industries that weighed 187gn. Well I thought I'd use it anyway, mainly for feral hogs, I'm putting 45gn of Varget in the case and the powder comes up to the base of the neck. Overall length is 2.7inch using a Hornady 150gn Interlock. It shoots OK for pigs, and there's no signs of pressure. We have a trip coming up where some farmers want the pigs and goats thinned out. I'll run the load though the Chrony before I go, but I'm expecting around 2,700fps.

That load of 45gn Varget turned out pretty good. I chrony'd it to get an average of 2,775fps. No signs of pressure, and I'm trying our some primers made in India, and they worked very well, in fact they went bang just as they were supposed to do. Got the rifle sighted to be dead on at 200m.
