I am assuming 308 caliber with Varget or Re15? I would stick with the 180's if I was you. Your two nodes should fall around 41.4 and 43.0. Which is about right for most guns. Mines will shoot 42.8 in one hole with the 180's
Got a chance to test some new stuff, conditions were about 43 degrees F, light/variable winds. I was in kind of a hurry, so I didn't giv ethe barrel of my axis much time to cool down between shots.
Here is a "redo" of last weeks hirnady 168 gr sst at 35.1. still think I can get it better.
Here is a redo of my ttsx 168 at 42.6--even worse than the first time around. Might be because I didn't let the barrel cool much--also the bullet is seated at .03 jump and Barnes suggests .03 to .07--not giving up on this since it's such a good hunting round.
Here is my 165 Hot Cor ladder. Hard to imtrepret what's useful here.
Here's the swift 180 scirocco 2 ladder. This one is also a bit hard to intrepret--mostly because the bullet seems to fly so darn well no matter what load I had in the case! I can tell this bullet has a great future in my rifle.

At 308 velocities with the 180's you are wasting money with bonded bullets. A interlock or sst will get you stay together at those speeds for half the money.

Maybe not then. I can usually swap between different bullets of the same weight with very little or no change to the load. Might have to tweak distance from lands but that's about it.
