Reloading Bench Time: .308 Win Load Development

[RangeHot]

I've been focusing on my .308 Win load workup lately. Experimenting with different bullet weights and powders to find the sweet spot for accuracy. Would love to hear about your favorite .308 recipes or any tips you have.

I've used Sierra 168 GR HPBT with 39 grains of 4895 and Fed215M (Match).
This went in my 40X

I've been working on my .308 as well, it is a great cartridge to fine-tune. I won't share exact loads, but adjusting seating depth and keeping brass prep consistent made a big difference

Try 41 grains of IMR 4064 with a 168-grain Sierra MatchKing for a .308 load. It groups under 1 MOA in my Remington 700. Keep your brass trimmed to 2.005 inches for consistency. What rifle are you loading for?

For my M1A I run sierra matchking 168s over 41.5gr 4895 for 1 MOA or better.

I'm currently loving the 168gr Sierra HPBT. I've been loading it with 43.5gr of Varget, and I set the OAL to 2.800". It consistently shoots under an MOA in my rifle.
