[QUOTE="Guest, post: 61102"] [b]Re: Max load for .308 Win with IMR 4064 and 168\'s?[/b] My first suggestion would be not to shoot anymore garbage through your gun and expect to get good groups. The Sciroccos are not known to be accurate bullets , in fact I have heard that they are very inconsistant by way of weight and shape. If your planning to shoot your rig and see how well it preforms you owe it to your rifle to give it something that is able to shoot small groups. And again , for the lighter bullets I have found Varget to be a better powder than the 4064 , that just what I have found is 6 differant 308s though yours could be differant. If your looking to find a good accuracy load try a match bullet seated pretty close to the lands or as far out as your magazine will allow (some lands are real deap) and if your looking for a good hunting bullet then try the Nosler Ballistic tips for critters up to deer and the partitions for everything thats bigger. I know that the Ballistic tips are known for blowing up and "failing" but in most cases this is out of rifles that are pushing them alot faster than the 308 will and usualy at close range if you go to the 165gr you'll gain a little more sectional density and loose a little velocity which will only help in the expansion staying controled.
