I picked up a 500 ct. pack of the Prvi Partizan .308 dia., 168 gr. BTHP Match bullets from Widener's, and am looking for load data. I called them, and they couldn't offer any load data.

Here is a link to the bullets I am talking about ... Widener's .308 Bullet

Should I try working a load up using Sierra 168 gr. MK data, or have some of you worked with this bullet before?

The powders I have at my disposal are as follows ...

Benchmark
Tac
IMR 8208 XBR
H4895
IMR 3031
H335
N135
N140
N150
N550

Thanks
 
Re: Prvi Partizan .308 Dia., 168 gr. BTHP, Data Needed

A buddy of mine just picked up a bunch of the same bullets. We found that the diameter of these bullets measured from .3065 to .308 in diameter. I would check a bunch to make sure the diameter doesn't vary that much. YMMV.
On another note, if you look at the top of the reloader forum, there is a ton of load data for the .308.
Good luck...
