Anyone have a load for a Savage MSR 10 Long Range .308? I just got one and was curious if someone had found the sweet spot on theirs yet before I started building my loads.

Anyone have a load for a Savage MSR 10 Long Range .308? I just got one and was curious if someone had found the sweet spot on theirs yet before I started building my loads.
Superformance, CFE 223, or 2000mr would be my guess. I wouldn't bother with the RL16 unless it was 200+ gr bullets and a longer barrel was being run.Alright been googling to no avail. My brother is having a custom 308 built. I'd prefer he go short 6.5 personally but i he wants more energy on target i get it, and i think it's still very viable assuming i can reach the speed i want to. Problem is he wants as short as he can go. So i'm trying to think of ways to get a 155gr TMK to 2800fps or maybe a 168gr TMK/ELD to 2700. I know 2000mr is an obvious go to but i'm not sure on it's temp stability. I have some 8208 and thought about trying RL16.
Thoughts?
I'd do a 20-22". 2700+ with 2000mr and 185r hybrids or you could try Rl16 with 208 Eld-m's or the Berger 200.20X. I'm getting 2648 out of my 20.5" Hawk Hill with target and 178 Hornady's and will be switching back to the 185 Bergers and 2000mr.
Ive tried the 208 Eld's with Rl17 in my 20.5" and stopped somewhere between 2450-2500fps from what I recall. I'm sure I could have gone higher but was mag feeding and didn't want to trash new peterson brass.
I'm going to order some Win brass and try the 208's with Rl16. I think when I ran the numbers I need around 2550 fps or more to match the 185gr hybrids @2700.
That would leave me to assume that with the 18.5" barrel, 2600+ fps might be achievable with 2000mr and 175-185gr bullets, same with CFE 223. I'd be curious if small primer brass would benefit much also.
Anybody have any pet loads for a 16" AAC SD Remington? I have some 178ELDXs coming.
Started a load work up with H4895 and 168 ELDMs. I noticed my velocities were faster than expected. Anybody get that with this powder?
One of my favorite loads is 43.2gr H4895 under 168gr Hornady A-max. Gives 2721 FPS ave for me. Out of 26" pipe. Loaded up a bunch today In 308, 223 and 6 dasher. It is my go-to for all three. in 223 I use 24.0gr under 75gr BTHP for 2825fps and in 6 Dasher it gets 32.2gr under 105gr bergers for 3003fps.Started a load work up with H4895 and 168 ELDMs. I noticed my velocities were faster than expected.

What is the Gr weight you are using for 308? I am using Lapua brass in a 1:12 twist. I am using that in my DMR AR with a white oak 18" 1:7 twist barrel. Zero pressure signs and it is great. I have also used it in my 10.5" AR and they also run great. I had tested higher up to 24.4gr but they started to fall off in accuracy and I was more then happy with the ave speed of 2825fps.I got 2800 out of my 22" with the 168 ELDM. Was surprised but it fell into a solid node. Ill be checking more soon. Not sure how the BH brass will hold up as it is just under the DO NOT USE in QL. Brass checked out good so we shall see. I will give it a shot in my AR next. Plan was with those 75s

Anyone had any luck out of the 175 tmks using Lapua brass and Varget.
18.5 barrel?
Did fine with 40.5 gr Varget in Lapua brass using Fed GMM primers (one bug hole at 100 yds) and ok with 44.2 grs (not quite a good) . . . .at .010 off lands and COAL of 2.957 in out of my 20 in factory sporter barrel. I tried seating depths further away and found none that would worked for me. MV's weren't much difference from the 175 SMK's I 've used, though I expect at long range the TMK's, with their higher BQ, would shoot flatter.
Recently tried AR Comp with the TMK's and got much better results than I was able to get with Varget for these bullets.
