My Savage loves this load... http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-reloading-depot/479-loads-308-winchester-16.html#post2936361

I've always used standard rifle primers in my .260 Remington... so my suggestion is try something milder than the WLRM. Yeah, I know it's hard to find primers lately!

I thought I had a good combo with H4895 but it turns out it was Reloader 15. Pretty warm load but was getting weak ejection from my Bushmaster Varminter with 25.0 grs. Bullet: Sierra 69 gr. HPBT Powder: Alliant Reloader 15 25.5 grs. Primer: Remington 7 ½ Case: Winchester Average...

A little late to do you any good but the best load I've ever found for my 10FLP just happens to be my hunting load! Seated out to get closer to the lands (.085 jump) but still feeds 100% from the magazine. Very accurate at 100 yards, 5 shots at 200 yards measured 1.626 inches (group picture is...

I ran out of Varget so I started using IMR-4064, happy with it so far! Ten shots at 200 yards (about 1.8 inches center to center) from my Savage 16FLHSS with its Lothar-Walther barrel. Bullet: Nosler 175 gr. Custom Competition Powder: IMR-4064 42.5 grs. Primer: Wolf Large Rifle Case...

Well, the AR10 isn't as powder sensitive as the M14/M1A. I've seen guys shooting loads through AR10s (with no problems) that I wouldn't ever try in my M1A!

I'm shooting an old fashioned M1A. Here's my favorite load. Bullet: Nosler 155 gr. HPBT Custom Competition Powder: Hodgdon H4895 43.0 grs. (02 May 13 Lot #5161) Primer: Winchester Large Rifle Case: Lake City 64 LOAL: 2.780 (2.196 Base to Ogive with Stoney Point) Average Velocity...

My Tikka T3 Lite in 30-06 is just about perfect. Throat was a good match with the magazine for minimal bullet jump, good trigger, smooth bolt and stiff stock (for factory). Still, I prefer stainless so I just got another one in .308 Winchester. Here's my hunting load. Bullet: Nosler 168...

7mm Remington Magnum (26 inch Rock Creek, 1 in 9 twist, 5R rifling) Bullet: Sierra 168 gr. HPBT Matchking Powder: Hodgdon H4831 63.0 grs. Primer: Federal 215 Case: Federal Average Velocity: 2801.69 fps Extreme Spread: 12.34 Standard Deviation: 5.09 LOAL: 3.300 (2.742 Base to Ogive...

In my Savage 16FLHSS with 1 in 10 Lothar Walther barrel. Jam length with Nosler 175 gr. HPBT is 2.312 (about 2.893 LOAL). Bullets seated to give 0.018 bullet jump. Bullet: Nosler 175 gr. HPBT Powder: Hodgdon Varget 43.5 grs. Primer: CCI-BR2 Case: Lapua LOAL: 2.875 (2.294 Base to...

I rinsed my brass and tumble it in a bath towel. Then I place the the cases neck down in a bakers cooling rack (purchased from Wal Mart) on a baking pan covered with paper towels. Then its into a preheated 200 degree oven and turn off the heat. Works great! If the brass is too short for...

From a Bushmaster Varminter, 24 inch barrel 1:9 twist. Bullet: Sierra 52 gr. HPBT Match Powder: Accurate 2460 25.4 gr. Primer: Federal 205 Case: PMC Military LOAL: 2.250 Velocity: 3230.72 fps

I didn't post this load because it's from a Savage 10FLP (24 inch barrel, 1 in 10 twist). But since it's almost identical to Talkinguns load (except for the match primer) and shoots great... Bullet: Sierra 175 gr. HPBT MatchKing Powder: Hodgdon Varget 43.5 grs. Primer: Federal 210...

Here are a couple that worked really well when I was trying to duplicate Federal GMM. Got best accuracy when seating out nearer the lands but those rounds wouldn't fit the magazine - these will. (From a Remington 700 SPS with factory 26 inch, 1 in 12 twist barrel) Bullet: Sierra 168 gr...

Re: Post Your Savages! It's just an ol' hunting rifle but my Savage .338 Federal is my favorite. No feral hog or whitetail has gone more than a few feet (if that) when hit by this thing! Barrel: PAC-NOR 24 inch fluted .338 Federal (1 in 10, 3-groove) Finish: Robar Stock: McMillan...
