I was wondering what powder seems to work best with these.I have looked in a few load books and don't seem to be able to find them in there also if you could tell me amount of charge for these and OAL that would be great.
-ROCKEY-

you can start with load data for any other 165-168gr Hornady bullet, and work up to a safe load.

Powders like Varget, Rl-15, 4064, 4895 work well with this combination.

Out of curiosity why wouldn't you shoot the 165 interbond? They are only $1 more per box!

Thomas to answer your question I got a Great deal on these from a buddy who dosn't have a need for 30 cal stuff anymore. He was cleaning up and found this new box.

I have shot 308 win for almost 30 years now, Currently I have a SSG-69. I have used many powders but have settled on two for now. here are my favorite loads follow them and you will ahead of the game, all bullets will be Nosler or Sierra GK

VARGET (preferred powder)
CCI BR-2 primer
150-46.5-47.0
165-46.0
* 180-44.0 (Nosler Part.) Main hunting Load
FED GM Brass or Lapua

Reloader 15
Fed 210 Match Primer
165 Nosler Part or Sierra GK
44.0

COL: I seat all my bullets @ 2.79"

I use IMR 4350 & Fed 210m primer

I'd try Varget or RL15 first, then maybe h4895 or 4064...

Used that bullet years ago. Good bullet but try not to push it over 2700 fps. I had trouble with total disintegration. Loaded it with IMR 4831, had 1 inch groups. After slowing it down, it did much better. Hope this helps. Good shooting, jimjam

On a tangent, does anyone use BLC-2 for the middleweight 308's?
