[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 899018, member: 12995"] If I hunted with my .308 Win, I'd run Berger 168 VLD's with 44.0gr of Varget and Federal 210M primers in Lapua brass... But, I have a buddy who has a Browning A-Bolt II .308 Win, and I loaded him up some "Mud specials", and he said aside from them being slightly lower POI than his previous loads, they were grouping around 1/2" 3-shot groups, and he was impressed. What I loaded up for his were some Nosler 165 Accubonds, 44.0gr of Varget, Fed 210M primers, Hornady Match brass, and the bullet seated to SAAMI spec COL of 2.810". Hint, hint to the OP. :D Incase most haven't noticed the trend...Most .308's shoot good with 165-175gr bullets with 44.0gr of Varget. It's a pretty universal load. [/QUOTE]
