[QUOTE="fastex500, post: 500746, member: 29091"] Hey guys (and gals)! New to the forum but long time shooter, and have learned a ton from reading the forums here! I am just getting started in loading rifle, but I have been loading pistol and shotgun for quite a while. I am shooting out of a savage 10 twist 22". My dilemma is that I have found a broad range of powder charges for the above mentioned combination (.308/IMR4895/180gr). I have both Sierra Game Kings and Hornady SST's. Sierra says 36.7 - 41.5gr of powder IMR says 40.5 - 44.7 And I have found loaders online that list anywhere from 40 - 47gr (crazy) The brass I am using now is 1x trimmed Win brass + Win LR primers. COL 2.80" What do you guys say is safe in a bone stock .308? My load objectives are 100 - 300yd target, and then ~100yd medium game (whitetail, pig, etc). Thanks! [/QUOTE]
