Does anyone have any good (i.e. loading manual) load data for the 110 grain V-Max using Reloader 15 in a 308? I have looked my manuals and there is no data for RL15 with a 110 grain head. I know this may mean that RL15 is not best suited to the 110 grain head but I'm in the UK and have to use what I can get.

I've seen internet sources for 47 grains of RL 15 as a max load with the V-Max and also Alliant quote 51 grains as max with the Speer 110 grain HP but would like some supporting evidence. Needless to say I would back it off to about 43 grains and work up.

I used 47 grains of Re-15 with the 110 grain V-Max in a 26" Encore barrel in .308 WCF, and the pressures appeared very mild. Accuracy was excellent.

According to Quickload 3.4, the max. load of 51 gr. of RL15 behind the V-Max should be correct. Supposing a barrel lenght of 24", V/0 should be 3150/3200 fps. Of course this is only a guess. Hope this helps.

thanks to you both for your assistance with this, in view of 51gr probably being max i might start about 45 and work up from there. This will probably only be a plinking load and so max velocity is not a requirement so the first accurate load I reach will be the one I go with.
