    173 grain M118 bullets...

    Was cleaning out my bench recently, and discovered a small lot of DCM 173 grain M118 bullets. Anyone have a proven .308 load using AA2520, IMR 3031 or Varget? Given the current scarcity of components, I'd like to shorten the load development process. Thanks in advance! Jim
