[QUOTE="*WyoWhisper*, post: 52770"] You're in luck .. i Just got done yesterday shooting out to 1150 with my 308... My loads are 44.5 grs of varget and a 168 Nosler J4 same powder and a 168 SMK works well too... My gun seems to shoot the J4's better I have a 23.5" barrel and I was getting 2800 fps yesterday!! I just weighed and sorted a bunch of Nosler J4's and SMK's. Noslers were between 167.9 and 168.2 SMK's were from 167.5 - 168.4 The J4's seems to have better consistency... My gun has always liked varget the best and I have talked to a bunch of guys who have said the same thing about the 308 and varget... I was busting volleyball sized rocks from 920 to 1150 .... the 308 is about outta juice at 1150 but it still make a big exposion on the sandstone rocks!!! [/QUOTE]
