best load??
« on: October 22, 2005, 03:23:25 PM »
i picked up a 308 from a pard on here
now i need to know whats the best load for it??
i know it might differ from gun to gun but if i see a pattern in the replies then it might narrow it down some for me and save me some money in the process
i would like to know the best of both worlds
factory load and handload
or at least powder and bullet for the handload
thanks,
sureshot

this works in just about every 308win i know of, some where between 43 and 44 grains of IMR 4064 and a 165/168 grain bullet.  for a bullet i would recommend the matchkings.


my 308 handi really like 43.8 grains of 4064 with a 165 hornady sst on top. and its sent every deer i've shot a one way ticket to the ground with the a back flip here and there.
