    varmint load

    most of those powders better suited to heavier heads in .223 . in my .223 ive had great results with 25.5g benchmark, 25g viht n133 or again h335. I like cci primers lapua or hornady brass with an oal 2245-50.

    Hornady .308 Match brass

    found the hornady brass a lot lighter dropped from a .337 redding bush with lapua to a .334 when sizing, when using varget i had to up the charge .5g to get the same results. needs to be fully resized every 2 loads .

    Re: lapua 308 case capacity vs hornady i went the other way lapua to hornady brass going from 44g varget to 44.8g with the 175 s and when neck sizing had to go from a .337 .335 bushing- so the reverse should apply
