Has anyone taken the time to work up a OCW load for this gun?

Would you be willing to share that information with others?

I have worked up some starting loads from information that I have received here but the weather just will not warm up enough to get outside.

Thanks
 
Re: OCW Load for the LWRC -REPR 308

I don't have a REPR, but I shoot a 20" Krieger barreled AR on a LR308 upper/lower. So far my gun heavily favors RL15 in both 155 and 175 grains. My mild plinking load is 45.2 grains of RL15 under a 155 Nosler CC in a Winchester case at 2,668 fps. You won't ever wear your barrel out with it. For longer range, I've found that 43.3 grains of RL15 under a 175 grain Nosler CC works great, and it's not a hot load either. I'm currently working up 175s and 208s using RL17, and am getting close to finding the right loads with those.

***Edit to add that the 175 Nosler/RL15 load is giving me 2,500 fps in a Winchester case.
