I bought some lapua 155 grain scenars for my .308 - I will be sending them down a 26" barrel, 11.25 twist. I was wondering if you guys would share some of your load recipes. I have never loaded any 155's yet. Thanks

Re: 155 grain scenar recipes?
155 Scenar's are my bullet of choice for my .308. I have shot them out to 1,000 yards & they are a consistent slightly sub MOA performers. I use Wolf LR primers with a charge of 46.4grs. of Varget. While this load is safe in my rifle I suggest that you start a little lower & work up.

I had a buddy give me some wolf LR primers I was wanting to try. What velocity are you getting with 46 grain? Thanks

47.1 N150
47.0 Varget
45.5-46.5 H4895 ( you have to play with this one, I can't find my notes on it other than start and stop.)
The top two are known good ones, but work up to it, be a big boy.

47.8 Gr Varget in Win cases (47.4gr Varget in Lapua cases)
Caution edge of sane pressure limits, so start low and work up slowly watching pressure signs.
This runs 2925-2950 fps in my 24" tube.
