I could not find anywhere this load. Have Tikka T3 Tac, 24" twist 1:11. I heard that the best choice of speed 2460 2600 2780 2950fps. N150 is slower than the N140, and it is for the heavy bullets. Needs a good starting load. I'll try later OCW method
I ask also for the best COAL for the 178 A-max on Tikka.
By the way does anyone have a load for for Barnes TTSX 180 and Nosler BT Hunter 180 with N150
Please for sharing all your experience Tikka .308 N150 load.
 
For a 308 i would'nt use any Barnes bullet heavier then 165 grs for sure.
Living in Europe i assume you wont shoot very bigand tough animals,for deer and such the 130 and 150 is really the best performers by far, certainly at some range.

Shoot a 150 ttsx over 46,5 grain N150,myself if i hunt with the 308.
If velocity is a big concern try N540 and 550

I'll try from 42.00 up to 43.00. I found a 42.7 gn @ 2400fps.
Amax 208 is ok but it seems too heavy

Again, this charge seems to me strong for 178:
Vihtavuori N150 110.0% 45.8 2.97 2603 99.9 57537 7352 1.167
