[QUOTE="MMarshall, post: 571239, member: 38541"] I load for a friend with your Remington model. His rifle does well with the 175gr SMK's and Winchester brass. My personal pet load is: 175gr Berger VLD 44.4gr RL-15 CCI-BR2 Lapua brass 2.845" 2595pfs out of a 20" barrel 175gr Berger VLD 44.8gr RL-15 CCI_BR2 Hornady Match brass 2.805" 2595fps out of a 20" barrel Both loads chronograph at 2595 fps and put 4 shots inside of 1/3" at 100 yards. The actaul measured outside to outside minus bullet diameter is .274" on the pic below. These loads may be a little hot for longer barrel rifles, mine is a 20" production Ruger Tactical. The Ruger comes with a 1:10 twist, no problems with 175's. The Berger BC is corrected to .493 with my test data. I've shot it out to 800 yards with great success.lgun) I took two deer this past February with this rifle and load. The exit hole was huge using the fragile VLD. I plan on a 150gr E-Tip load soon. Planned powder will be IMR-8028XBR. Results to follow in a month. Going Elk hunting with a different rifle in a week and starting new .308 load work after that. [/QUOTE]
