[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1559492, member: 82202"] Havard, the barnes data was reduced in the on line data powder variables I suppose. In a bolt gun of recent manufacture I wouldn't worry at all. As stated pressure with Varget is low and I have not had a problem using data with it and other bullets of the same weight class. I would say since Barnes was purchased by Remington the brass is probably theirs if of fairly recent manufacture anyway but not sure. Safest thing to do is measure with water. Weighting cases a little less reliable. Lapua is your huckleberry IMO. The weight of 308 win brass win, rem and hornandy is generally around 165gn per case Lapua around 172 and Federal around 175 and nickle plated is heavier yet. Check the weights or capacity and case fill accordingly. The lighter the more depending on alloy. Capacity can vary just like weight. Shoot straight. [/QUOTE]
