Just trying to get a idea of what different folks are using since our range and where we go hunting are waaaayyyyy different terrains.

155 Scenar
Varget
Lapua brass
Fed 210m

Seems like the Scenars like to be driven hard for best accuracy, but they are great on coyotes.

Thanks for the info folks, looks like i'll be picking up some more components in the near future. I actually found a place that has 210m primers in stock.

Using the same as Cinch, killa_goose and PGS.
It's a good combo.

Are you guys rifles 1-10 twist?

 

[psinclair]

Re: Whats your prefered .308 yote load and loadout?

1-11" and 1-11.25", in three different .308's. Krieger, Bartlein and Rock.

 

[kill_goose]

Re: Whats your prefered .308 yote load and loadout?

1:12"

 

[Cinch]

Re: Whats your prefered .308 yote load and loadout?

Re: Whats your prefered .308 yote load and loadout?

Gas Gun Load
2800fps 1:10 26 inch barrel
155 Amax
45.8 Varget
Lapua brass
CCI BR2

Bolt Gun Load
2880fps 1:12 26 inch barrel
155 Amax Moly
47.5 Varget
Lapua Brass
CCI BR2

Reliable 1/2 MOA bang flop loads in an LAR and a TRG.
Great for critters and competition! (155s grouped slightly better than the 168 or 178 Amax for me)
Started with Scenars but switched to the Amax after a couple of Scenars failed to expand.
Now I only use the Scenars for 1K yard shoots.
