.308 175 gr sierra matchking with imr 4895

[gunfreak101]

Does anyone have a good load for the sierra 175 gr match king with 4895 IMR

 

[427Cobra]

I use 44.0 in Win brass lit off by Fed 210, not M, COAL 2.810, 2620 out of my Rock barrel with 9000 rounds down it

41.5 in LC brass has been accurate for me.

42.8gr IMR 4895 2650 fps 21" Bartlien 5R Win brass

41.7gr in LC brass and CCI 200 has worked for me

 

[Deerhunter28]

I use 45.0 Lapua Brass CCI 200 primers.
I don't have a chronograph but book says 2,704 FPS?
Per the ballistics calculator with that speed it tells me to dial up 11.8 Mils at a 1,000 yards which is wrong.
My dope at 1,000 is 9.4 Mils.
I must be faster than the book says?
24" stock HS Savage.


PSE EVO 60 Lbs.
Blacked out

Deer, I would think that load is close to 2800+ FPS.

 

[Silverbullet2]

I run 42.5 Gr of 4895 in a Winchester case. I get 2530 FPS out of an 18.5" Hart barrel. I think I could go a little warmer, tho. J

I'd think that anything over 43gr IMR-4895 with a 175 would be very hot but there might be some rifles it would be safe in. 45gr would be in the zone of please don't shoot beside me.

I shoot 42.5 with the 168's and get warm results with them at 43.0 and above. This has been common thru several rifles with that powder.

I use 43 grains with federal match brass, federal match primers, I get 2700 fps with my HS precision 24" barrel.

210m
42.0 grains

Try 42.5. I've shot thousands of these.

[Trochlea]

My load settled in at 41.8 imr 4895, LC LR brass on top of a federal 210m primer seated to 2.800 through a 1:12

I plan on using the same bullet and powder for my LAR-8. Any recommendations for an AR?

 

[Mike_in_FL]

41.5 in LC brass is an accuracy load for M1As w/ 168. You should be safe around there with the 175.

I'd think that anything over 43gr IMR-4895 with a 175 would be very hot but there might be some rifles it would be safe in. 45gr would be in the zone of please don't shoot beside me.

I shoot 42.5 with the 168's and get warm results with them at 43.0 and above. This has been common thru several rifles with that powder.

42.5 under a 168 SMK is pretty mild in the 2 rifles I've used that combo in; book data goes up to 45.4 gr and I've run it all the way up there.
Neither has a very tight chamber (shallow throat) though.

To the OP, you're going to have to run a ladder or OCW to find what works in your rifle.
A good load in another rifle may not shoot worth a $hit in yours.

I'm running 43.5 gr I4895 under a 168 SMK in my AAC-SD.
Just got my 175s so I haven't spent any time developing for them yet.

The DuPont M118LR load, which seems to have been a better load than the current one (ATK, RL15 driven), used 42.0 grains of IMR 4895 in LC match brass with the 175 at 2.800" OAL.
