.308 110 grain Vmax

[Downzero]

Anyone think 50 grains of Varget is too much? I'm working up my load this weekend so I'm curious.

Try another powder like H335 instead, it's faster and will get you much better velocities.

Also, try the Hodgdon website, they have factory data for it.

47.5gr 4064 works well for me....

I use WIN/BHA brass & a 210 to light it...

my 24" stick gets 3100+ fps ans works well out to 500m (farthest I've shot this load so far)

Had a few witnesses comment on its accuracy at distance as well...

light recoil, and super accurate.

good luck!

It shoots really well with 48.0 gr. Varget in Lapua brass.

I have H335 but I've never tried it in .308.

And Hodgdon's website does not have any data for this bullet, nor do they suggest that H335 or BLC(2) would give better velocities.

I thought IMR 3031 was the way to go for high velocity with light bullets in .308?

According to Hodgdon's website, that seems to be the case. I don't have any IMR 3031 or I'd definitely be trying it.
