Anyone have any load data they would like to share for this setup in .308? Just trying to get a general idea of what works well before i start trying everything under the sun with the way ammo prices are.
Had a chance to load up and test the new 169SMK in my Mk 11 Mod 0. Overall, I like the 308 but found the 175SMK to be lacking consistency beyond 700m (that’s after I factor me as an average shooter out of the equation). I developed a few quick loads using Sierra’s new 169 Matchking and tested...

My Mk11’s load with the 175 smk is 42.8g Varget, LC LR 07 case, Remington 9-1/2 lrp. Mirrors M118LR very well out to 800m which is far as I shoot it.
I used to own a -25 ECC with the 16” dimpled chrome lined barrel, urx 3.1 and qdc flash hider and would do better than 3/4” with factory 175 fgmm. So I’d probably recommend getting a few boxes of 175 smk and a few lbs of varget or imr 4064.

Ive had success with Varget, IMR4064, Reloader 15 using F210/210M lrps, WLRs, CCI200s/BR2s and Remington 9-1/2 LRP, Federal cots brass, black hills brass, federal .mil brass and LC LR brass. The SR25 family is very easy to load for and responds well to loads featuring the above components and more.
175 smk, 41.7-42g IMR4064, Fed FC .Mil case and F210M is essentially a clone of AB39 (Mk316 mod 0) and also shoots very well in SR25s.
