Thread: reloading 308 win

@Shahin

My favourite 308 load is

45grs w748 powder and 165gr projectiles with federal large rifle primers. But work up to this in your rifle looking for any pressure signs.

Brass brand is not so important so long as it's all the same.

Get yourself a Lee case length gauge and cutter for 308 so you can trim your brass to length

See if you can find someone local to show you the basics too.

Cheers

Lapua brass and Federal Match primers.

you prefer the winchester powder over ADI, Hornady, Etc? Hmm never thought down that road, I may give it a try! What type of groupings and speeds were you getting with that set up?

Mv = 2680fps

Accuracy = minute of deer all the way out past 300 m

End result = bang , flop.
