168 amax over varget in LC 08 cases full length resized powder just starting to compress at 45gr with OAL at 2.80" netted 2630fps in my 20" AAC-SD this past weekend. Started at 41gr at 2391fps and worked up in .4gr increments. No pressure signs but a Remington is pretty open so it takes a lot to...

You will have to be more specific. Is it new brass or once fired? Was it fired in your gun? How many times? Has it been full length sized?

Odds are that cartridge was tested in a universal chamber and a 24" barrel. Your velocity may be higher. If it is then it will probably only be 50-60fps higher. But, other factors can determine velocity. I would shoot it over a chronograph if one is available. Your other option is to put up a...

I got a 10" round on Ebay for $35 shipped. 3/8" AR500 steel. Works great for 308 so far between 200 and 500yds.

I think instead of just going with 25gr, I would load up to 25.6gr(if pressure allows) and see if my grouping and velocity was pretty much the same. If so, I would go with 25.3gr and try seating depth changes with that. This would provide a load that is not too sensitive to changes such as...
