Hey guys, I am the proud new owner of a semi auto .308. This is my first .308 rifle of any kind, I have several bolt guns in different calibers and an ar-15 in the safe and am excited to see what I can reach out and touch with this new rifle. Its the 20" P308 and so far its been great. I have been into hand loading for quite some time but first timer for .308 and would love to hear from you seasoned vets on load info.
I bought a box of Hornady 168gr BTHP MATCH bullets and have loaded them with 3 of my favorite powders as follows:
40.1g of TAC
38.4g of 4895
37.3g of varget
Anyone loading anything similar? Have any good or bad results with similar loads? Ballistics information on loads with any of these powders?
I went with the 168gr round because my local reloading supplier doesn't have the 175gr. I've read of people having good results with both.
Any input or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
