Nemesis 308 load suggestions ?

[shoots100]

I put my order in for a 308 Nemesis.I have a couple of months to aquire some projos for reloading.I use 168grn berger VLD's for my 308 bolt guns,but with the 1:10 twist of the nemesis barrel,maybe the 175grn or heavier projos might work better ?? I'm waiting for a response from Dave,but any load reccomendations from other nemesis 308 owners would be appreciated.
Thanks,
STEVE

Not a lot of them out there but I would just treat it like a normal 20 incher with 1:10 twist.

lapua brass
43.5-44.5 verget
210m primer
175 smk
Works pretty good in mine, pretty much same load shoots good in any 308.

I put 44.3 of VV N-150 into Lapua brass with a CCI primer and a 167 scenar, and can get it to shoot about .6+. For some reason, I really cant get it dialed in as good as I hoped. I have a .243 barrel for it that I can shoot .3's every day and I've even gotten it to <.25 twice. I haven't gotten a load figured out with Varget yet that will get me to less than .75 in 308. If you figure out a good Varget load, please share it. Trying to decided if a 6.5x47 barrel would be a good next step

Thanks for the replies.I'll start with 168+175grn bergers and go from there.Never tried the VV powders in my 308's.Varget and H4350 work for me.I was going to order the rifle with the 6.5 barrel too,but I'd have to get all of the reloading gear for it.I'd also have to keep track of what caliber I was shooting and scope zero for each cal too.Thats to much to worry about and I want to keep it simple,so I'm going to stick with the 308.
