Load data 308 win berger 185gr OTM pls

[Raufoss]

Please list you load data for 308 win berger 185gr OTM with varget powder
Including COAL,powder charge(for specified brass),Seating depth,velocity(with barrel lenght) and etc..
It would help me alot.

I am trying to use Quickload 3.6 and i cant do anything with this program that look like an old 1996 32 bit program...Especially since the bullet data base is ridiculously little, almost noting.
I am losing my patience with it and i don't trust the data i get...

I was thinking about doing pressure test to max 42 gr.
Rifle is a savage 10TR

message gstaylorg, he has a really nice load. I run my 175 OTM at 43.5gr varget from Lake City LR cases. I matched my base to ogive length to M118LR

What is wrong with your QL?

 

[Raufoss]

i have the 3.6 and the bullet data base is almost non extant...I am a bit disappointed by the interface look like 1996 programs.
I don't want to put anymore money in this.

anyway, just looking for load data, i wont make this post a review of QL.

You are looking wrong. Go to the top task bar. Click on the Data: Add, Change, Load, Save button. Scroll to the projectile option, click on it, then search bullets of the same diameter. It will load a zillion .308 bullets for you to choose from.

Great thanks you sir...........but still no berger 185 gr bullet on the list.

 

[918v]

Mine has it. It has six Berger 185's. Try loading the Berger Bullet File.

sound correct?

Looks good. Are you using FC brass for this work-up? The node should be somewhere near 41.5grs.

BTW, my Berger 185 Juggernaut is 1.340" long. You might want to check yours.

 

[Raufoss]

Yes i will us FC for now. Lapua when i will receive them later this summer.

for the start i tough going from 40gr to 42gr(in .5gr increment) to test pressure and if i don't have pressure sign i'll make my OCW test.

 

[918v]

That's a good way to do it.

I'd be interested in the load info as well.
