Once again Austin's (Deadly0311) expertise was very helpful today. He gave me some 308 load data not too long ago and it was spot on!!!!


155 Lapua Scenar
45.7 Gr of Re-15
regular case prep


It shot 3 shot groups into 1" to 1.10" at 300 yards today with mild wind!!!!

Head shots on this 10x17 LV Steel target were practically done in my sleep.

Austin is a great resource for this site!!!

Well done to both the shooter and the developer!

Curious as to what kind of velocity that load yelds from a 26" barrel? </div></div>

dont know about Mark's gun, but in my Rock 19" barrel its around 2830-2840
 
Re: Stole some load data and it worked!!!!!

Alright, I've been jonesin' to shoot for a couple days so I loaded up 30 rounds of the Austin uber-load. I'll let you know how it shoots tonight, provided we get cut loose from work at a reasonable time.
 
Re: Stole some load data and it worked!!!!!

Deadly was dead right about the 45.7gr of R-15. I loaded up 30 rounds and shot 6 5-round groups at 100 yards tonight and they were excellent. Once I settled down and got in a solid position, the groups measured less than .3", with the best group being just under .2" measuring the outer edges and subtracting .308. Great load indeed. Thanks Austin!
 
Re: Stole some load data and it worked!!!!!

Thanks, sir. I tried 46.2 gr of R-15 under the 155 Scenar in my 700P (1:10), but wasn't happy with the results. I'm going to give this one a try.

 
Re: Stole some load data and it worked!!!!!

Austin is a great help to me also, I ask him at least 5 dumbass questions a day. I'm surprised he hasn't put me on ignore yet. He always gives me a straight up answer, and has answer for everything, Great guy.
 
Re: Stole some load data and it worked!!!!!

In reference to the OAL, my chamber is is 2.865", and my loads are at 2.860. Lots more room for powder, but it's too accurate to mess with for my purposes.
