Hello all, A friend of mine wants me to help him load some 110 gr .308 win. varmint loads, what would you do, load them slower 2800 fps or faster 3200 fps? The lightest bullet I have loaded the 308 win for has been 130 gr around 2825 fps, so what say ye. Thanks in advance for any help.

Depends on what you want them to do.

If you want them to blow up things very well load them as fast as you can.

If you want to use them as a nice training load or a new person little recoil hunting load then around 2400 works great.

I have found the lighter bullets can be very accurate.

That's the nice thing about reloading you can do what is needed.

I shot deer for awhile with 125r Serria's with max load of 4064 in an 06 killed deer like lighting turned the heart and lungs into mush. didn't exit.

I have gone to 165s or 180s in my 06's

I load 110gr sierra varminter and Hornady V max to about 3000-3200 they stay inside a 30p beaver only small fragments left.

Faster; for varminting, that is a given. I would not use them on deer; no penetration.
We are not allowed to shoot beavers in this state. Not with guns anyway.

I'm loading 100gr Cutting Edge Raptors in my 308 for deer. They seem to be very accurate and velocity over the chronograph was 3,118.

Fast for varmints EXCEPT for preditors or any animal wherein the pelt is for resale, in which case I would load them down considerably.
