[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 22713, member: 376"] Quite a few people seem to find the 175gr SMK/45.0gr Varget/Winchester cases/CCI BR2 primers to be the 'cats meow' when it comes to a good load for the .308 Win. I've heard of a few people whose guns showed some excessive pressure @ 45.0 gr; usually backing down to 44.5-44.6gr seems to result in acceptable performance and still good accuracy. From my gun (factory Rem 700VS w/ 26" pipe) this load nets about 2750 fps, and low ES/SD (sorry, don't have the numbers anymore. I ran up as high as 46.0 gr, but didn't see enough velocity increase to warrant burning the extra powder. As far as I know, there are more than a few people out there getting 2700fps+ from this load (45.0gr) w/ no problems. Monte [/QUOTE]
