    Load for my 110 .308

    Loaded some precision prepped DAG berdan primed brass for my Savage 110 in .308. I think this works.

    43.5 gn Varget under a 150 gn fb target bullet seated to a CBTO of 2.301 to just touch the lands and set off with TULA KV-7.62N primers. 10 rnds shot at 100 yds. Low shot at 6 was operator error. Whatta Hobby!

    Great results, NF1E! Very consistent with 9 of 10. Good shooting.
    I hate those "Shooter Induced Variations". We all have them, don't we.

    For me, Varget works great in my .308s. Your's seems to really like it, too.
    Come to think of it, Varget works great with 69 to77 grain bullets in my .233 also.

    Bullet choice also seems to depend on the barrel.
    I have two Savage .308s, both with 24 inch barrels - one with a muzzle brake.
    Both shoot about the same size groups but one prefers 150 & 155 grain bullets and shoots 168s almost as great.
    The other likes 175 to 200 grain bullets and shoots 155s not so good and shoots 168s almost as great.

    For all 7 of my Savages, each barrel has its own bullet weight and powder preferences.

    I enjoy the results with Varget. Target show is with my 110 .223 using 23 gn of Varget under a 73 gn Berger bt target bullet in Starline cases. Whatta Hobby!

    I love it when load work up comes to bear fruit.
    Varget also does well in my 12bvss 22-250 with 55gr Vmax.
    Its a versitile powder that definitely has a place on my shelf.

    That is a great group! I am new to reloading and have been looking for Varget but it has been very evasive for me to find.
