Pet Loads with the ELD-VT Bullet?

[AR-180]

These bullets have been out a while. Hopefully some guys here can share the loads the have worked well.

Bolt/Gas
Cartridge
Powder
Charge
Velocity
ES/SD

All of the usual guidelines apply. Every gun is different. Start low, and work up. Et cetera.

Thanks in advance.

In my 308 26” bolt gun I like 40.7grs of AR Comp in a heavy case @ 2.933” coal (.060” off) with a FC210. Velocity is 2700-2730 depending on brass and ES is in the teens. It shoots under half moa. I also tried Varget but 5he ES was in 5he 30’s.

My 16” 6.5cm Tikka loves 39.5 gr of Varget and whatever the recommended COL. Single digit SD and ES under 10. 3180fps

Working on doing a 25” SJA 6.5cm load now.
