Federal 308 110 grain v max

[MtnOak]

Has anyone purchased a box of these??
I'm loading this using benchmark powder and curious what federals overall length with bullet seated is…..backed off lands and this bullet is barely in the brass

Can't help you with the factory data that you asked for, will say though that my Montana 308 with the 110 VM @ 2.74 OAL (no idea how far off the factory lands that is...) shot really well for me.

I used both TAC and H4895.

The Barnes 110 TTSX shoots great as well.

Best of luck to ya!

(side note if I can find some I'll try to measure it, I think I saw some at the local store)

I load 110 Varmageddon @ 2.70 OAL with H335 and shoots great also. Makes a single hole clover with a 20" 10 twist.
It's a mile from the lands but those varmint bullets must not mind the long jump.
Sorry, I can't help with the factory version either.

Thanks for replying guys, I'll post my OAL tonight if I can remember after work..

 

[MtnOak]

OAL is 2.82 on my loads.
I have some hornady (TAP) that are 2.80 and some national match BTHP set at 2.78 so I think I'm good at 2.82….we'll see when I get time to hit some paper…

I can't help you in 308, but I loaded 110s in my 300WM and they were uber fast (~3700fps?). I set them barely holding in the neck, and it was still an super long jump. But they were surprisingly accurate, easily under MOA.

Another bullet to consider is the Lehigh Defense 110 gr. Chaos .30 cal. I've been a tester for Lehigh for many years. This bullet is wicked in my .308 HS handgun. Rips groundhogs apart. Kills deer out to 400 yds.-drt.
I experimented with powders & found a load that makes this and all my 150 gr. bullets shoot the same out to at least 400 yds.
Cool stuff.

Nice! My .300 win hated them at any speed. But at 3850 fps with imr4350 they sure do vaporize expired produce in a satisfying manner! Chunks of rotten watermelon smacking the roof of a barn over 60 feet away

I think I've got this load doing what I want now , very impressed with it.
I'll post load data for this group after work tonight…

 

[Roughrice]

Looks great.
Waiting for the data…

 

[MtnOak]

Here's the load data for that round.
Federal 308 brass (once fired not trimmed)
Fed 210 primers
47 grain benchmark powder
110 grain Hornady v-max bullet
OAL 2.80
I haven't shot this through my chronograph but as we say in the bow hunting world I don't think anything is gonna "jump the string" with this load.
I used Nosler load data and it's marked as the most accurate load for 110grn pushing this bullet 3277fps.

I'm loading them in my son's 308 with a reduced charge of IMR 4895. I went with the data on Hodgdon's online loading website. They list 2.690" as the C.O.L.

They shot a clover leaf group out of my .308 when I tested them prior to allowing my son to shoot them in his new rifle.

What twist are you shooting the 110s out of?

 

[Roughrice]

Mine is a 10 twist.
