Just bought 6 pounds of IMR4064. What are some of your best loads with Sierra 168 and 175 bullets O.A.L,Brass,Primers,etc.

42.8 grains for the 168 pills... With 2.805 for OAL and just large primers using federal or winchester brass. A tad less powder with Lapua.
175. 41.7 grains.

I'm using 42.8 for the 178 amax's. Check out the reloading section, my ocw and load work up are summarized in a thread.

Great powder for 308. I also use 42.8gr for 168 & 175 SMK in used Fed brass with Fed 210 or 210M primers. OAL 2.80. Initially tested loads from 41.5gr through 44.5gr and 42.8 was definitely the sweet spot. 168gr chronoed at 2650 fps out of 22" DTA barrel. Have reloaded the brass 6 times, so far without any pressure signs and 1/3rd to 1/2 MOA, when I do my part!

Anywhere from 40-43.5grns gives me 1/2-3/4 in. groups, at 100, with the 168. Groups started to open up past 43.5. I can't figure it out, I had to really tweak my Varget loads, but my guns seem to like 4064. 2 5Rs. One is stock, factory, and ones got a better trigger .Fed brass and primers. They shoot a little better with Sierra MK HP's than the AMAX, too .Col 2.8-2.95, also not a big deal. Guess I got lucky.

GAP-10 18" uses 42 gr with 175 SMK, CCI BR2, 2.8 COAL in Lapua brass.

 

[Aceshigh109]

41.7 g & 42.3g gives sub moa good groups out of a 24" 1:12 6 groove barrel @ 100m 41.7 is giving me just shy of 2700fps and 42.3 is giving 2750
I found that federal brass give more consistent results than Lap brass... bullets are Sierra 175g HPBT

42.2 gr and 175 mk works great in my Savage .

 

[keith jones]

Thanks for all the great info. The rifle I'm working with right now is just a stock sps varmint .308 in a manners stock. Have seen people get some good results with factory barrel,just hope I am one of those guys.

44.1 behind a 178 amax does really well im my remmy. i seat them long though. win brass and fed 210m

 

[nashlaw]

Classic .308 powder. I have ran it under 190 SMKs and it went .5 moa

 

[Scoby]

I've found that 43.3grs of IMR 4064 with the 168gr SMKs is a great load.
A little on the hot side but no pressure signs in my LMT MWS 18" stainless.

42.6
168
Fed GM at 2.8
WLR

Gave me the best results at 2750fps.

 

[slowlearner]

I run 42.8 over a 168gr SMK, and 41.8 over a 175gr SMK. Both are running CBC brass with Federal 201M primers. OAL is 2.800" It runs 3/4moa or better for me in a stock 700 police.

Here's a few pics of some loads worked up with 4064 & 175g SMK's. I found good results at 41.7 & 42.3g. As mentioned previously, it's running out of a 6 groove 1:12 24" barrel.

I went with 41.7 as the velocity I got off the crono I used was around 2690 fps. Easy going with no pressure signs.

the 20''' & 15''' pics are 41.7g with a jump of 20 thou and 15 thou

Sorry for the shitty pics
