I had previously done some testing at the next higher node, but they still showed pressure signs (this was done @ 100). I then loaded 3% down to the next node for this trip, fired a few @ 100 to re-zero, and then on to 900. Dan has an extensive mental database of charge weights/calibers, so...

I recently had to switch to a different load (.308 LC LR 178 A-Max & 4064), my Savage (tight chamber) was over pressure with the 185 Bergers. Not to mention a case head separation. No more .308 Win Mag Loads for me... So I narrowed it down to a charge, then Dan told me to run it out to 900, and...

$.71 per round in .308 for long range work. LC LR 03,08,10 Brass Berger 185 Juggernaught (Target and OTM) GM210M Primers IMR 8208 XBR

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the SPS mag, so I do not have any suggestions. If the OTM's are working at MAX mag length, I wouldn't worry about how far from the lands you are. If your rifle/bullet combo didn't like it, they would let you know. Steve

I run both the the Juggernaught Target and Juggernaught OTM @ 2.885 COAL which is .010" off. I also mag feed them both through my Savage. On the factory Savage 10rd DBM mag (Accurate Mag), I removed the blinder plate from the front of the mag and spot welded the top hole shut where the...

Very good place to start, my COAL is 2.885 with the 185's YMMV

PM sent :)

I run XBR in my 24" 1-10 .308 Savage, pushing the 185 Bergers to 2743 avg. I just worked up a load for my AR pushing 55gr Sierra Blitzkings, those haven't been across the chrono yet, only OCW. .308 in LC LR brass .223 in LC Brass Will soon work up a load for the .243 with 95gr VLD's...

Best thing would be to go to one locally, and get a feel for how it is run. Tough to tell you what to prep for, since many matches do not conform to common shooting stages. Not sure what you have in Upstate SC, but Woody's is in Central NC >Click Here< I've meet them at Bangsteel events...

What's the latest, there boss ?

Might try these folks - Accurate Mag The .243-.308 mags are Identical to the AI, not sure about .223 :confused:

Glad to hear, with all the threads lately of folks discussing CF's, it kinda had me worried for ya'. :eek:

This ^^^ All of my materials say 42.3-42.7 max, best thing to do is like Mike says, pull them down and recharge them with below max and work up. No need to take chances with the only body parts you have.

"If your not in first place, then your in last." - Ricky Bobby :p;):D You'll be fine, hope you get sumthin built soon though !

Uh-oh... :(

I was told that also, but it's similar to Ramshot TAC and H4895 in burn rate, but the Berger manual has both listed for the 185's.

Awesome shooting @1425 Levi ! I get 2743 from a 24" 1-10" Savage & IMR 8208XBR. 185's @ 2700+ is an incredible combination of downrange energy and wind bucking for the .308.

^^^This, we could call it the 5.56 mount :D

You're probably right,we don't need off the shelf accuracy.:rolleyes: We can stimulate the economy by having less choices, and employing more smiths to true and blueprint actions, perform bedding work, re-cutting chambers and setting the barrel back, replacing recoil lugs, buying and installing...
