Shooting a 28" 1-12 twist Broughton
Your favorite 155gr bullet, load data, and where you like it in the lands!
Hornady 155gr A-Max
Seated .05" off the lands
IMR 4895 45.1gr
155 scenar, cci200, 46.5 of varget, .030 jump. shoots .5 moa or better prone off bipod from my 26" 1 in 10 mcgowen. 28 moa to 1k @ 25C, 2950 fps
Dennis I only load 150grn. but my favorite and my 10fp's is; 41.0 grns of IMR 4895,CCI200 primer,pushing 150hpmk Sierra. I don't have a chrono. but according to the Speer manual it is around 2550fps. I only shoot out to 200yards and it stays well under MOA, next time I shoot I will save a target and try to post it up.
Dennis,
I've settled with 168 grainers in my .308 rifles. But back when I used some 150 and 155 gr bullets, I had good luck with H4895 and IMR-4895 powders.
Distance from the lands... I guess that would depend on the bullet. Normally I start at 20 thou off the lands and then adjust from there.
155gr A-Max
45.0 gr Varget
Fireformed Brass
No Crimp
Seated to touch the lands
in my 26" barrel it has made 1.0 groups at 300 meters (depending on how many Mt. Dews I had prior to shooting :P )
If you can find a more accurate load than 168 nosler BT"S and 39.5 grs of IMR 3031.
I would like to know what it is.
I don't think you will find one !
PROVE ME WRONG

Check my pictures out on this thread and let me know what you think.
Will the NBT's and 3031 shoot better, I am willing to give anything a try!
3031 is temp sensitive if you have extreme changes
Could be 32 this morning and 70 by 2am!
