I can't for the life of me find any data for the box of 168g Berger Match Grade bullets I picked up. I saw that a 168g Sierra MatchKing maxes out at 43.5g of Varget. Anyone have any data from Berger? I'm using Lapua brass if it makes any difference. Thanks in advance!

From a Berger PDF file I googled. In my 6.5x55 I use Sierra data with Bergers with no issues.

Just remember Handloader had an article a while back on "the most accurate 308 load". Author tested 100s of loads. Ended up with Bergers, Varget and CCI 250 (yes 250s). You can probably get a back issue from Wolfe Publishing in AZ.
The goal was to duplicate FGGM in a 40X (1/2 MOA)

If you email Berger from their websites Walt Berger will email you back with a nice selection of loads. I did so for data on the 168 and 175 .308 for my .300 Wby, it was a great help and he checked in with me later to see how I ended up.
