Hi,
happy new year to everybody,
i have just bought a R25 remington, cal 308win,
i reload several cal but i need some advises for that gun.
i would like to shoot on 400 to 600 yards, not specially to hunt because it's forbidden with that rifle in quebec, so what kind of bullets, best BC ?, powder ?
thank's for all
Phil
 
Re: reload for a remington R25, cal 308win

Just yesterday I ran some test loads on my Mega MA-Ten. I have an 18 inch barrel with a 1-11 twist. My chrono wouldn't work since temp was below freezing so I was only able to go off of grouping size but I was using 168 gr AMAXs and varget. I did have 5 round for shits and giggles loaded with 168 SMKs and 42 grains of Varget that grouped well. For AMAXs I'll be using 44 grains. YMMV
