[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1673002, member: 93846"] Hi Harvard. I'll have to get out my load development books but, my final OCW load that works great in several of my 308 Win rifles is 42.6gr RL-16 with Hornady 178gr ELD-X in Lapua 308 Win brass and Federal 210 primers. I use the same recipe for 175gr SMK bullets as well. I saw no excess pressure signs all the way up to 44.0gr charge. With my OCW load of 42.6gr RL-16 velocities for temps @ 65°F to 92°F at sea level, 22" to 24" barrels, runs between 2,675 fps to 2,760 fps. Accuracy is excellent! Most of my 308 Wins put 5 rounds of this load under 3/4 MOA with a couple of my Remington 700 5R Mil-Spec rifles shooting this load well under 1/2 MOA with 5 round groups. Start 10% reduced and work your load up carefully. I stared off with 39.0gr. [/QUOTE]
