Have to change Varget for my 308

[sniperjhk]

Have to change my powder, beacause Varget is no more available in Europe.

Now
Varger 42,8gr
Lapua case
CCI BR2
Lapua Scenar 167gr
Coal 71,12mm
Speed 835m/s
Savage 10, 308, 1:10

Great for 600m.

Have to find new powder available in Europe.

Please, Recomend me new recipe.

Change bullet? Bullet weight?
Powder RS52?

Would like to try Sierra 168 TMK, but the ogive is to steep in comparasion with Scenar. My magazine accept 71,12 but with TMK I have very very long jump.

Do you have H4350 available?

I guess the question should be what powders are available in your area

Benchmark, and H4895 are also very reliable for 308

I've been using IMR-4064, if that's available.

 

[Gunfighter14e2]

IMR 3031, IMR 4064, H-335, H380, the list is long.

 

[101stinfantry]

Yeah IMR-4064 is good, not sure if available in Europe. Haven't tried any of the 3 you listed.

I tried Only Lovex. But very sensitive for temperature.

Will try RS 52.

Viht is an incredible powder I use N-160 and N-565 and N-550 I would develop an N-160 load and see how that works

 

[101stinfantry]

Ok, never mind on the 4064 it's not REACH compliant either. From what I found all of the Ramshot, and Allliant brands are still compliant, I've used RL-15 with good results in .308, it's a bit more temp sensitive than Varget or 4064. Haven't used any of the Ramshot brands, so maybe someone else can give you guidance there.

I’ve tried Ramshot wasn’t impressed

TMK vs Scenar. 168

H4350 and similar burning rate powders are inappropriate for the 308 with 168s.

So you would need to try like N550 and N150 viht

 

[Deleted member 10043]

I use VV N150 for the 168 SMK. But VV N140 is right there for Varget. Just check a good burn rate chart.

N550

Lovex SO62 is supposed to be about the same speed as Varget. It's available in the states as Shooters World Precision Rifle. I will try it if I can ever find a pound.

 

[Supersubes]

I used to shoot a lot of N540 with 175’s. Worked great. Viht powder is stupid expensive here, how is it there compared to your other offerings?

 

[Friday]

It’s expensive I wait till it goes on sale at graf&sons
