190 smks for .308

[mexrunner]

was wondering if anyone shoots the 190s for long distance or is it just not needed over the 175

Yes. There was a topic on this a week or so ago (see below). I will run the 190's or 208's in my 308 when needed.

190's beat 175's easily.
Varget and Re15 work well under this bullet.

Please post your results when you find a good load for it. It's nice to see what certain powder/bullet combinations work well.

43 grains of RL15 under the 190 (BN coated) in LC match brass.

Works well in one of my Rifles.

42.0 grains of RL15 in Lapua cases with naked 190 Bergers or SMKs. Pressure signs show up on hot days.

I run 190 smk moly's in my 300 blackout subs and they are the most consistent yet

190's pushed with H4350 or H-380 got me to a grand at 1.5moa less up, that a 175 an Varget from a 22" tube, Book data is out the window here, but never blow'ed a primer or had marks on the brass.

Do you have a bunch of them already? The 178 ELD has a higher B.C. So does the 175 RDF, 175 TMK and 168 TMK.

178 eld was not a thing in '09.

I had 1 rifle that shot 190's really well at 600 yards. Lapua case, Federal 210M primer and Varget.
