I think your first set of loads with the IMR 4064 are going to get pretty hot past 43 grains pushing a 155 grain projectile, be careful with that one. I use IMR 4064 in my 308 and usually don't go past 43.5 grains pushing a 165 grain projectile.

I haven't had any problems getting Sierra 168 or 175 gr match king projectiles, check gunbot.

What he said......gunbot is great!

I have used and continue to use my vibratory tumbler with walnut media, gets all my cases looking brand new, even the primer pockets. Call me old fashioned.........

I would suggest IMR 4064 for loading .308 loads. As for how much to load, please consult your reloading guides, Lyman, Sierra, Hornady, Lee, etc. for the correct charges.

Was keeping an eye on gunbot today and Natchez Shooter Supplies posted that they had VARGET in 8 lb jugs for $176. Managed to pick one up, so I'll be back into loading up my 223 again!

I have a bunch of experience hand loading 308, but not for your particular rifle. You need to work up your loads for your rifle and find out what it likes the best. Start low and work up in .5 grain increments. Then once you find a load that works well, i.e. gives you a good group, then refine...

Good Lord man, you went straight for the deep end on your purchases, good job! The only two things I would like to recommend is a powder tricolor and a Dillon 600 swaging tool for military crimped brass. The Dillon swagger will save you a ton of time when taking the crimp out of military crimped...

I've used IMR 4064 exclusively in all of my 308 rifles for years and have never had any issues with it. I use IMR 7828 in my 338 LM and it really likes the stuff. IMR is a great powder to use. Oh there are powder snobs out there that will boast about this powder or that powder being the best...

I use a Lee Classic Cast Single Stage press for all my 338LM, no fitment issues at all.

Very nice Sir, very nice!

I've been keeping an eye on gunbot all day at work by keeping an extra tab open on my IE, checking it frequently, and have been somewhat successful in obtaining powders I have needed. I have also been checking my local gun stores two or three times a week, and sometimes can find something I can...
