That's right around where I want to be. I'm thinking about 42.5-43 grains of RL15 behind a 178gr AMax is going to be just about perfect at around 2650-2700 fps. Hopefully I can borrow someones chrono and get it really dialed in, and then I'll just stick with that load.

That's why I would back off the powder load. Ideally I think 2650 would be idea. I wouldn't use 210M either, probably CCI LR200. I'm not trying to destroy my barrel or the rifle, that would be a nightmare. As far as RL17 goes, I don't have a chrono, and I've heard it shoots a little hot. I'd...

That sounds about right, but I'm guessing the Lapua brass can probably withstand a little more pressure than most other brass on the market. If this load is coming out at 2725 from a 20" barrel, it would probably be a little too hot for my 22" barrel, so I'd probably only load 43 grains...

Sorry for the double post, but I actually changed my setup a little, too. I got Burris 30mm low rings, and I added the cheek rest:

Well I finally got it sighted in at 200 yards, but I didn't have time to put a group together. From what it looks like, I think it should be a 1/2 minute of angle shooter if I'm up to the task. Hopefully I can put a group together this spring, when I have a break from school.

I've been leading towards the 175-178 grain round. Around 2700 fps. I think that would be somewhere around 42.5-43 grains of powder from what I've read. I'm going to have to double check the Miller stabilization number of the 178 gr Hornady A-Max round as well.

I'll definitely see if I can get my hands on a chrono because the last thing I want to do is ruin my rifle. I'm basically trying to mimic this cartridge: http://www.right2bearammo.com/shop/catalog/pdf/117.pdf

Hey all, I'm about to get into reloading with my dad, as ammo is starting to get expensive. I'm looking for a .308 load that is going to stay supersonic out to 1000 yards. I was thinking of using the Hornady 178 grain A-Max bullet, RL15 powder, but need help on the primer choice, depth of...

I'm listing this ad for my father, he is the legal owner. PM me for his contact information. Location: Massachusetts Description: For sale is a Savage FCP-K, bolt action rifle, chambered in .308 Winchester. It's part of Savage's LE line of rifles, and does come with the Accustock bedding...

Over the winter and early spring I purchased a Weatherby Vanguard Synthetic in .308. I decided that I wanted to make it a budget long-range project, and I bought an EGW 20 MOA rail, Millett TRS-1 scope, Millett rings, and a Boyds pepper laminate stock. I also bought a Blackhawk! cheek pad so...

I actually ended up pillar bedding a Boyd's pepper laminate stock with the Score High kit, and I put the Millett scope on it. It came out pretty much perfect, but I haven't gotten a chance to shoot it yet, unfortunately.

I'm looking to purchase a wood (can be factory take-off, laminate, etc.) stock for my Vanguard S/A with a sporter weight barrel. As long as the stock is in good condition and hasn't been bedded, I would be interested. Please PM me here with any offers, thanks.
