LC brass/168 grs

[scorpion168]

Sorry if redundant. I have some LC brass sitting here and I wanna load them with a bag of 168 gr blems from Graf's. .308. These will just be for SHTF days. I'm shooting Savage bolt. You think 43 gr IMR 4895 will be good?

I'd use 42.0 grains just in case you want to run them thru a semi-auto rifle. The high node should be 43.2, and the one under that 42.0 grains.

I load 4895 to 40.0 with a 168gr. Will drive tacks up to 200yds.

41.5 of IMR4895 with a 168 shoots great for me.

Thanks Dan, and others. I love getting info from y'all.

I just loaded some military brass with 150s and H4895, 43.5grs was safe but used 43grs since the fellow was shooting a BLR, I'd say 43grs might be a bit hot for the 168s, try 41.5grs.

41.5 IMR 4895 and 168's works great for me.
