Data request
Can anyone tell me what (if even) the load data for .308 winchester is with 165 Nosler Ballistic tips and Hodgdon Benchmark in the Nosler manual. I am just curious to see if it is much different from the load on the can for 165 Sierra BT.

Thanks in advance.

Russ,

They don't list Benchmark in the book.

I've checked with Quickload 3.3; min. should be 36.5 and max 39 gr. Of course it's only a guess; hope it helps.

Nosler doesn't show Benchmark w/165 BT on their web but does show Varget(min=42gr/max=46gr) as does Hodgdons web w/165 Hornady SP(min=42/max=46C). Hodgdons web shows Benchmark(min=38.5gr/max=42.5gr)w/165 Hornady SP.
