Reloading data for a Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle?

[1975CJ5]

I just picked up a used Ruger GSR from a friend, he put 100 rds thru it and grew tired of it. I traded a Ruger 357 and some cash and got the rifle. I personally shot it when he bought it new back in July and it shoots dead on at 100 yds with no sight adjustment needed. Groups were anout 2-3 inches with factory irons at 80 yds. Couldn't be happier with it, he also threw in 100 pieces of once fired Remington brass. I'm looking to reload probably 150 or 165 gr nosler partitions or coreloks. Any good load data out there for the 16" GSR? I currently use H4350 for my 180 gr loads in my 300 WSM and 30-06. I want to get a good powder for my Savage 99 in 300 Savage and now in 308 for the GSR. I've been told that they are similar and that you can load the 300 Savage like a 308 light. Anyways, I've yet to look in my manual and compare 300 Savage and 308 Win powders, but if ya got any dood recipies for reloading for the the GSR I'd really appreciate it. I was thinking of R-15, between 43 and 44 grains.

Thanks Billy Jack

I would be interested to know about this too. I'm picking one up Tuesday and want to have an idea on where to start with load development.

I have two loads for my 16” GSR.
168 nosle ABLR
HSM brass Fed 210
Coal 2.810 or 2.105 base to ogive .105 jump
Varget 43.6
2550 FPS

165 Speer BTSP
HSM brass Fed 210
Coal 2.799 or base to ogive 2.148 .135 jump
IMR 4064 45.0 and an ultrasonic toothbrush
2650-2675 pending time of year.

I prefer the Speer due the the cost per round and the extra velocity. I was able to get the 168 ABLR to go faster with IMR 4064 but it was not as accurate. Both loads are very consistent to 400 yards on 10” plates. Perfect hunting rig!!!!

I load 155TMK's with 46.1 grains of Varget and have tried it in 4 different brands of brass and its sub moa with all of them. It's doing right at 2600fps out of my 16" barrel. It really likes that combo. I'll be loading some 200gr partitions for a timber load. I'm expecting to get maybe 2300fps out of them. Should be a good elk and black bear load inside of 200 meters.

er load when I get home in a few weeks.
