Planning on loading up a bunch of ammo this weekend while visiting my dad.
Wondering if anyone has a charge weight to acheive between 2650-2700 fps using Varget powder and 175 SMK from a 20" AE MKII they would be willing to share.
Closest thing I have found in the 308 section were these for a 24" barrel, worst case this should get me close.
