VV N150 for .308 loads in stock 700 SD-AAC?

This is going to my first attempt at reloading and the N150 was what I was able to get my hands on. My main goal is to learn the ropes and not blow myself up. Secondary goal is to actually acheive some consistency out of this rifle.

I'm going to be loading 178gr AMAX and 175gr SMKs in Lapua brass with CCI primers.

I'll start with the loading manually and OCW, but any other input would be appreciated.

You'll not be disappointed with N150, for that weight of bullet it is an ideal powder and one I've had good success with. I use 44.5 gr with 175smk's and 185 scenars, would probably stand more but gets me accurately out to 1000 with a 20" barrel. Start low and work up as usual.

Im shooting N-150 with the 200 hybrids with great results, haven't tried 175 or 185s. My load with the 200s is 43.3 gr and its giving me 2570 ftps with a 28 inch Krieger with 2500 rounds on it. In load developement i ran them alot faster than 2570 but it flat out hammers at the node under 2600. Extremely accurate load, Lapua brass, CCI BR2s. Jagged 77's load sounds like it would be right about where i would be with that weight (185 or 175 MK) bullet also.

Thanks for the data guys. I'll let you know how it goes when I finally get around to loading some.
