[QUOTE="graywolf, post: 2733817, member: 34545"] I want to test some loads for my 20” .308 with 150 BD2s comparing Varget, TAC, CFE 223 and LVR. I have a few pieces of Lapua Palma left and just got some Lapua LRP that I’ll have to switch to soon. Anyway, I found that 47 gr LVR gave me 2921 fps with good accuracy. I could easily go up a grain or more probably but that is a good load and mild. With Varget, I couldn’t seat the bullet even going down to 45 gr. The boat tail on the BD2 is long compared with the 155 Scenar, which I usually load with 46.5 gr Varget. Maybe this is a trade off for the superior BC of the BD2. I’ll try 48 LVR and TAC and CFE when I have time. The rifle is a Tikka 11 twist. [/QUOTE]
