.308 150 fmjbt using varget

Jeff2131 · June 6, 2015, 06:47 AM

Just wondering if anyone can reccomend a fairly accurate load using Hornady .308 150gr fmjbt and Varget. Scored an 8lb jug. I usually use imr3031 and 4064 . I loaded a few on the higher end of the varget scale and notice that what was dead on at 100yrds is now 3-5inches low. Im shooting from an ar10. This is my first time around with varget. Just looking for a few quick loads i can try without spending the time to workup and be maticulous about the groups.

You must work up the load for your rifle. Not just 'load a few' and hope. There is no 'free lunch' when it comes to reloading. What works in one rifle may not in another. However, any 150 grain Varget load on Hodgdon's site will be safe.

I understand all that, been reloading for years now. Never used varget so i was looking for someone to shout out a couple loads that worked well for them in an ar10. Anyone?
