Hey guys looking for a accurate load for a 308 with a 16'' barrel using Varget and Nosler 125 gr ballistic tips and Lapua Palma small primer brass. Im gonna be fire forming new brass and wanna see what kind of potential it has on a sweet spot that any one has been using. I do understand all barrels are different but im sure there is a sweet spot to start with without burning allot of powder.

Just reading your post. I had some good results with 125 Speer spitzers, a while ago. BUT, I used 46.6 grns. H4895 at a COL of 2.7. Shot 10 into 3/4 in. at 100, with a 24" barrel. I was surprised,

How'd this turn out for you? Sounds like an excellent idea. Those bullets are hard to come by now, though. You can get Sierra 125 gr flat base Match Kings, though.
I run 50 grs of W-748 with 125 gr nozlers,shoots very well out of my savage rifle.
May I ask what type of recoil you have with that load compared to 155's or 168's? Thanks.
Opening charge for Nosler 125's is 47.5 of 748 with 748 listed as accuracy powder.
