What are you using for a temperature coefficient on your .308 Win loads when using IMR-4064? How many ft/sec change per degree F?
- Thread starter ShtrRdy
- Start date
With 175SMK and 41.75grs of IMR4064 it’s .5FPS per degree based on the slowest to the fastest shot over a 100 degree temperature range.
The ES is high when it’s cold.
somewhere I saw a chart online. If 918v has experienced only .5 from experience I would go with that but I thought only Hodgdon extreme or some of the newer IMR Enduron powder line had numbers that low.
Varget is less than half of that.
One test actually had 4064 with a negative coefficient. Slowed slightly as temperature increased.
Temperature sensitivity is load dependent
What are the exact temperature range (i.e. 0-100 Deg F), if you know them off the top of your head.
And cartridge. I should have also stated this was in 308.
30-130

sigtalk.com My Varget load is superb. It has single digit ES at all temperatures. The MK316 Mod0 load has average ES when it’s cold but tightens up as weather warms up. But it’s 100 FPS slower.
