.308 varmint load

[Hersh5317]

Read a bit and saw some 110gr v-max that looks promising. Any other bullets I should consider? Could you share your experiences please? I prefer something can find factory loaded, but is not necessary.

I run 47.5 grains of Varget under a 110 Sierra Varminter bullet, and it does one-hole groups at 100 yards. This load is pulled from Brad Suave, and is .5 grains under starting.

The Hornady 110 Tap's shot awesome out of my 308.

Barnes TSX Bullets, .308, 110 grain are available for reloading.

Choices are limited on Factory 110 grain ammo, I believe Ultramax also has 110's

I didn't see any "Factory" 110 V-Max loads, but I bet this would be one nice round to reload!

My staple varmint load when useing 110 V max's is 44gr of H4198, good for 3500 fps and it's easy on brass.
Thanks Dean

I have always had good luck with the 110gr Hornady in a 308. It even shot well in a 300 RUM! (copper plated my sandpaper textured bore on my Remington 700 barrel though)

125gr nosler with a case full of W-748 coyotes hate this load.

I would recommend using your most accurate load for varmits. Doesn'
t have to be a 100 grain bullet to kill a ground hog. Practice with your deer load. Bill

I'm thinking V-Max for lessing the probability of ricochet. I was looking at a few others (6BR, 22BR, etc.) as well, but barrel and reloading will not work. I have to choose one or the other, and I think reloading will have better benefits.

Once upon a time-one of my paid duties was shooting feral dogs on a military Airbase I used everthing from Full-Auto M16s to 44 Mag Winchester M94s! Plus Shotguns!
My best load was 110grSierra JHP over a max load from the Speer #8 Manual. It pushed that 110 JHP +3200 fps and ate German Shepard-size feral dogs for lunch where they chose to stop and look! DRT!

I'm shooting 110 V-max out of my .308. I run 46gr AA2230 and seat to COL 2.74. This is pushing 3300fps, and is quite accurate out to 200 so far.

+2... 125 TNT is BAD when it hits... it tares things APART!... and i have seen .5 groups at 200y from a GAP 308 with that load..

My deer load: 52 gr of 760 behind a 150 grain hunting bullet.

super accurate.
