Varget, 185 BergerTarget Hybrid, 308 Win, 1000 yds

[MLCM24]

I realize this might be too specialized a question for many answers and I am not looking for suggestions from manuals or manufacturers guidelines (I have those) or alternative suggestions. Any users of Varget behind the Berger 185 grain Target Hybrid in 308 Win that have worked up loads for 1000 yards that can tell me what load and velocity (chronographed) they found most accurate at that distance? Thanks

Loaded 2.950 OAL, jumping .010, AR10, 45.0 Varget
20 in Krieger 1-11 2675 FPS.

I use LC cases and wolf/Tula LRM primers
AMU uses lapua cases and BR primers and same charge and OAL in Thier AR10 service rifles from 600-1000 yds. Records have been set recently with that combo at 1000.

Best advice I was given for the 185 that worked was use your favorite 175 load and go from there. If you want to run them AI mag length, start a little lower and go up, but don't expect to get into 45.0 territory without some pressure. Win cases may help.
