F T/R Competition Need a starting load for 215 hybrid and N550 in a 308

[crackerbacks]

I have been playing with the 215 hybrid and varget and am getting pressure signs before the velocity I want. I want to try N550 but I can not find any load data on this combo other than that people use it. I am running a .225 freebore.


Thanks!

I would look at other powders that are not double base VT 500 series powders are murder on your throat.

Look into the Reloader line.

I was going to try RE17 but I have read that it is very temp sensitive?

H4350!
Works with 308 and 230's really well for me and short FB surprisingly.
215's and that long FB, good mv and no temp issues
