Well, I have decided to try some 180gr hornady SSTs.

My normal load that I shoot in the rifle is mag length amax 178 gr, 43.5gr Varget, mag length, br2 primers.

should I start using the same load or start fresh?, i just dont want an unsafe presure. I dont see any signs of presure with my current load.

The 2 reasons I want to try the sst is so I can crimp and also, it is harder hitting then the A-max.


Rifle is a Savage 10fcp-k 308 24" barrel with brake 1/10 twist. Shoot consistant 1/4 groups with the A-max
