Bench Time: Perfecting My .308 Win Handloads

[RangeHot]

I've been spending some time perfecting my .308 Win handloads. Just finished testing a new powder and can't wait to see how it performs at the range. Anyone else working on .308? Share your load data!

Sweet. I am glad your test went well. Do you mind sharing the recipe and range conditions so others can try to match it and learn from your results?

Since I am only shooting paper, I prefer bullets on the lighter side. 155 Berger Target with N133 is where my testing has me at the moment.

I have been loading 308 for a m1a using reloader-15 and 165 hpbt bullets.
You can do a bleep bloob search for Palma match loads and get a pretty good idea of the loads the Palma match shooters are using for target shooting. My dad always gave me a savage 99 in 308 to barrow until I bought my own hunting thunder stick. Love the 308 but for some stupid reason I always choose some new fangled super banger that costs more and harder to find ammo, and more expensive to shoot.
