[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1829368, member: 42308"] H4831sc is where I would start looking. Depending on your actual chamber dimensions of your rifle, and barrel length you should end up around 3,000 FPS safely with 180 to 200g bullets and a 26” barrel. Beginning with 308 Norma loads is good advice and a safe place to start. 30-338 Win is more efficient though, in that it requires less powder to get the same velocity as 308norma. Especially so with 200g and heavier bullets. Watch your velocity closely as you work up. Running the 185g berger juggernaut I found best accuracy with the lowest SD at 3,015 FPS from my 26” barrel. I’m three gains below where I encountered the first sign of a hesitation in bolt lift in my rifle. [/QUOTE]
