Thread: Varmint 308 loads

Greetings again,
Fished out my records. The projectile I used in most of the light loads was the 110 grain Speer Varminter. I managed to get them to shoot to the same elevation at 90 metres as my full power 150 grain loads with 40 grains of the long gone AR2201 which was a bit faster than AR2206H. Unfortunately they shot about 60mm left. I had good accuracy with 29 grains of IMR4227 (from the Speer manual) which shot to about the same place. I did load some of the 100 grain plinkers but I don't have targets for them. This was all in 1981 before the days of easily adjustable scopes so went no further with them. There are still a few of the 100 grain plinkers and near full boxes of the 100 grain Hornady and 110 grain Speer Varminters so I should have another crack at it.
Regards Grandpamac.
