125 BT Through My FAL

[Ishallbie O'Cullkillin]

I've been shooting Speer 130gr HPs thru my PARA FAL with 49gr of Varget, and they have been very accurate. I have been testing the Nosler 125 BTs with the same charge & they shoot even better. From a 16" barrel, I am looking for 2800fps or so, as the FAL tends to beat up the LC brass if I get near max. Varget is getting scarce and I am looking to Tac or AA2230, but want to know if anyone has a load that works well for the 125gr Nos BT.

Re: 125 BT Through My FAL

I've been running 44 grains of H335 behind a 125 grain Nosler BT, or Sierra 125 grain SP in my DPMS, and other than Lapua Scenars, it is the most accurate loads I've found for my DPMS .308.
