308 warbird lazzeroni

question, does anyone have one of the sako/lazzeroni conversions in 308 warbird that they reload for. I am looking for  a couple of hand loads for mine.
LUCK when preperation meets opportunity.

I reload my buddys 7.82 Warbird. The best so far is 103 grs of RL-25 with a 165 Barnes XLC with the blue coating. We'll most likely change to the TSX because of its lower pressures. The rifle is a Christanson Arms Carbon 1 with their carbon fiber wrapped barrel & a muzzle brake. They normally send a muzzle cap so you can remove the brake, but my buddy just got a note from them in big red letters "We do not recomend shooting this rifle without the brake installed". No kidding, it only weighs 6lb 7oz, and the muzzle blast is horrendous. He hunts with electronic muffs on. Oh yeah, the 165 X cronos at an average 3830 fps. Make sure the crono is at least 10 ft away the first shot blew mine over fron 5 ft.

Loading data is also available from Lazzeroni if you call them. that's what we started with.
