[QUOTE="green 788, post: 652846, member: 3781"] I think Varget will work very well for you... I use 43.1 grains behind Sierra 200 grain Matchkings... that's a grain over max, but I've shot it in 95 degree weather and no pressure issues at all... Winchester brass and CCI BR2' or just the 200's will work. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/green788/100_0233.jpg[/IMG] I'm getting right on 2600 fps with this bullet, and with its higher BC you can go to 1300 yards without dropping subsonic. With 175's at 2750 fps (quite optimistic but it can be done)... you're subsonic by 1250 and your energy level is lower, of course. With the 208 AMAX you should be able to get a great load at around 42.5 grains of Varget, but work up carefully... again Win brass... probably go 2575 anyway... Dan [/QUOTE]
