Just loaded a few recipes for my son's .308. I want to test a wide range of projectiles and powders to see what the gun really likes. I am just curious if any of you guys want to put your $.02 in before testing commences. Full disclosure, I will be shooting these rounds from a Ruger American Compact. I know these little rifles can outperform their price, as I consistently shoot sub .75 Moa groups with his sister's 7mm-08. The loads will be built as follows, let me know what you think will work the best for pure accuracy and consistency.
All loads using Starline brass, CCI 200 primers, seated to CBOL of 2.200, which is actually the max I can get out of the magazine right now with most of the projectiles.
Nosler 150gr BT on top of IMR 4064
Nosler 150gr BT on top of IMR 4895
Barnes 130gr TTSX on top of Varget
Hornady 178gr ELDX on top of Varget
Hornady 178gr ELDX on top of IMR 4064
I have loaded each test recipe at .2 grain intervals from minimum suggested load to just below max. What recipe do you think will perform the best? Do you guys, especially anyone with lots of .308 experience, have any recipes to suggest? Scheduled to go to the range on Thursday and I can't wait!!
