Nice 165gr load for .308
As always follow proper reloading techniques. Reduce from max by 10% and work up in a safe firearm!!!
42.5gr IMR 4895 (NEAR MAX-according to Hornady 7th edition max for this powder and bullet is 43.3gr of IMR4895 with this Hornady 165gr SP Winchester Brass CCI BR primer Hornady 165 SP COL-2.81 Remington 700 ADL 22inch barrel first 7 shots into .457 inches 8th shot opened it up to just under an inch |

We weren't expecting this one to be really accurate because the last load (just a step down) wasn't anywhere near this load (1-2 inch 3 shot groups)

Thanks
Been my experience that the mid-range loads are the ones that seem to open up the most. Closer I get to max pressures, the tighter my groups get.
I've been considering adding a heavier bullet to my .308 lineup--this looks like a good load to start the trials and experimenting with. Thanks. Jeff
