I'm new !!!

I want to shoot cutting edge mtac 182 g from my 308 using varget powder. Does anyone have load data ? I'm new to reloading. This will be my first attempt. My rifle is an ar 10 with a 24" barrel. I'm planning on single loading.

Two possible answers, pick the right one
A) get a load book and start at the minimum and work up.
B) Pour Varget through a funnel on a tall tube till it reaches 1/2” from the top. Insert bullet and press down to reach max OAL.

Think I'll choose A

the Reloading Depot is probably a more appropriate place to search / post

FYI you can find the hornady and Lyman reloading manual online. The lyman is in the internet archive and the hornady can be found when you google the book.

I personally preferred the Lyman as it went a bit more in depth on the tools as well as why you do the things you do on brass. The hornady has a nice write up on the mechanics that goes on in the action when a cartridge is fired that i highly recommend you read.

I plan on reloading 6.5cm. I am looking to start reloading on a 550c if i can find one on fb market place.

Good luck!

I apologize for the snarky response! Check the data. Also the 308 thread in reloading forum. I love my 308s, never tried that bullet though. Have fun!!

I didn't take it as snarky...

Nice build, pretty decent shooting as well! Again welcome, pull up a chair and stay awhile, most of us don’t bite.
