first time to post. I have found load data for 155 lupua with rl-15 from 42gr-46gr. The varget load go from 44.5-48.5. I am having a hard time finding anything on the 155 nolser comp bullets. I am using rl-15 and varget, and H4895. I shoot a savage 10fcp with the hs stock with a 24in barrel. On top is a falcon in 6 screws mounts i think burris with a 20 moa base. I thank you for any help.

Re: nolser 155gr comp data
the Nosler 155 is pretty much a carbon copy of the tried and true SMK 155 which had been the official Palma bullet for many years. Use the sierra manual. The exact loads will vary from gun to gun due to differences in the chambering and rifling of the barrel, but the powder charge range for the L155 you listed is fairly standard. No way around working up a load, especially since Palma shooters want the 155 close to 3000 fps.

Re: nolser 155gr comp data
Thanks for the help. I think i saw in the nolser #6 book the start for rl-15 is 42gr. and varget is 44.5gr. I just wondering what other people were shooting. And thanks for your help

Re: nolser 155gr comp data
Just my experience with the 155's is you run out of case capacity with Varget before you get enough velocity to make the 155's work well.
I would stick to the RL15 and H4895. Just my $0.02

I shoot the comp. 155 nosler in my 308, 47.9grn of RL-15, Win Brass. OAL of 2.870"-2960fps 25"bar. Start lower and work your way up. Good luck

Re: nolser 155gr comp data
I've run up to 47.8 gr of Varget in Win Brass during load testing, just starting to compress/slight crunch and my drop tube is only 6 inches.
With that said, Nosler 155's and Hornady AMAX 155's like 47.4gr of Varget in my R700 2943fps avg. 155 Scenars like a little more boom juice at 47.7-47.8 of Varget.
If you want to drop the charge down a little bit the Nosler's and AMAX also liked 45.6gr Varget which was in the upper 2769FPS range

Re: nolser 155gr comp data
I do have new win brass and br-2 primmers have you shot the 45.6 varget out to 1000 yards. From what i have read i need to push it at 2800plus.
