These bullets have been out a while. Hopefully some guys here can share the loads the have worked well.

Bolt/Gas
Cartridge
Powder
Charge
Velocity
ES/SD

All of the usual guidelines apply. Every gun is different. Start low, and work up. Et cetera.

Thanks in advance.

In my 308 26” bolt gun I like 40.7grs of AR Comp in a heavy case @ 2.933” coal (.060” off) with a FC210. Velocity is 2700-2730 depending on brass and ES is in the teens. It shoots under half moa. I also tried Varget but 5he ES was in 5he 30’s.
