AIAE load data

[Bradu]

I have one on order with a 20" barrel in .308 and wanted to see what kind of loads you guys are having good results with. I plan on starting with Winchester brass, Varget and 175 smk and also working up a load with 155 scenars. I am going to get some loads worked up so I'm ready to start testing shortly after it arrives.

I load 175gr SMK's, 43.5gr of Varget, Fed 210M, at 2.810 COAL and it hammers out of my Mk III. I used FC and Lapua brass however.

It looks like I will start at 42 grains and work my way up to 44 to see what the gun likes. It amazes me the difference from the Sierra reloading book to Hodgdon's website on the max powder drop.
