I would suggest you do a ladder test in 1/10 grain steps from a mild starting place, you should be able to find these loads from most load data books. The hard part is picking a powder and bullet tip that you want to start with, and one the your rifle likes. I started with a 1 in 12 twist on a...

I have used IMR 4064,very similar to Varget,loading 175 smk, and 178 hornady, 7.62x51, It flies good out to 1000 yrds, 26" bartlen barrel,11.25 twist, .299 tight bore. 44.6 grains Varget on the 175 smks, and 44.1 grains IMR 4064 on the hornady 178, both bthp

Re: Barrel Flex-moa does not match velocity @ 41.5 grains 2521,2527,2545 @ 41.7 grains 2563,2559,2563 @ 42 grains 2582,2597,2594 Had no pressure signs at 43.5 grains, but did not have a crono at 43.5 load. it just shot very good at 1000 yards, the other lighter loads did not group tightly...

Re: Barrel Flex-moa does not match velocity One last thing is that I know my bullets are traveling faster than 2575 fps, it's just the that the barrel flex got me screwed up when I was trying to figure out the moa on paper. Having others' inputs really helps in working out these little bumps...

Re: Barrel Flex-moa does not match velocity I did find that at 42.5 grains the point of impact was at it's highest point on the target, and that above that charge the poi started to drop, But I also found that at 43.5 grains the accuracy was at it's tightest. To me it does not matter if the...

I'm shooting a 308,26" w 1/12 twist,185 berger long range, .020 off lands, 43.5 varget, at 1000 yards it was spot on 10 and x ring, was up 34.5 min from 100 yard base line, temp around 80f,elavation around 1000 ft,humidity around 50%. The moa suggested that the bullets where flying around 2575...

Re: moa at 1000yrds What would you suggest in a hunting bullet around the 180 grain weight,but not over 190 grain,with a range out to 1000 yrds?

Re: Berger 185s in Savage FTR I am using the berger 185 long range target in a remington 700 with 1/12 twist,they fly very well

Re: moa at 1000yrds To all, thank you for your feedback,I enjoy this science

Re: moa at 1000yrds Sorry for delay in getting back to you,Was looking for a general starting point that others were loading to,that they felt was getting them one inch moa results at 1000 yrds, I know that every tube has its own appetite,but needed a base line to start off on, and I think...

Re: moa at 1000yrds Sorry for delay in response,thanks for your info-sweet spot for this rig seems to be around 41.7-42 grains imr 4064-.030 of lands-br-2 primer-185 berger,I put the tube in a ax aics chasis,learning now how to spot weld my eye to the glass,this old dog is still learning new...

Looking for some loads,I have a 308 bolt gun,26" barrel,1 in 12 twist, using lapua brass and have these powders varget,2520,imr 4064 and r-15, the elevation around here is 1100-1200 feet
