.308 Load workups for LMT MWS

[ztrigg]

Trying to work up some loads with a few different types of powder: Reloder 15, Hodgdon H4895, and Hodgdon Varget.
I'm using Lapua brass, winchester LR primers, and 175 SMK bullets.

Shooting a
LMT MWS .308
16" CHROME LINED BARREL, 1:10 TWIST

From the below pictures i'm curious if anybody is getting better results, with the same or like rifle, and what load you are using. I feel alright about the H4895 and Varget, mainly concerned with the RL 15 but any ideas are definitely welcome. Thanks in advance gents.

Zach-
BTW all groups are 5 shots at 100 meters.
...Ok so it looks like i can only attach one picture, its my worst groupings. Any advice would be much appreciated. If you're getting better results than I am (which I sure hope some of you are) I'd love to hear about what you are using.

when I owned a MWS, I found its higher node at 42.8 grains of Varget, 175 SMK's @ 2.810" COL (I'd switch out to cheaper brass.... no reason to trash high $ brass when Winchester and LC brass work just fine).

ensure your barrel is tightened to spec.

best of luck

sub load: 180 gr RN, 10.5 gr of trailboss @2.650" COL

thanks brother, appreciate the advice. I just found the gas gun reloading thread as well. A lot of helpful information there as well.
