These finally arrived and I'm getting ready for an OCW with them. Got some requested data from Berger (Their website is STILL down.) They show a max Varget load of 43Gr! That's seems crazy to me as my sweet spot with the 175SMK's is at 44.4Gr. These bullets appear to have less bearing surface than the SMK's. I know manufacturers tend to be very conservative about load data, but com on! 1.4Grs conservative?
I did a search here for load recipes and of course found nothing useful as the acceptable search words bring up every discussion of Berger bullets ever posted.
Rem 700 5R 308. BTW - 0.09 off the lands, so I'm not jamming them for this run.
So what are you guys loading for these?
TIA,
