308nu-bneed a recipe for hornady sst in .308
trying some hornady 165 gr SST in .308. Have you got any information on the loads for these bullets?
Hornady Manual would be my 1st choice. JP

beretta96I use the 165gr interbond in my wife's 308 and I use a half a grain shy of a full charge of Varget. I don't remember the exact amount, but a hodgdon website visit will help.
She can get MOA no problem with that load using Federal match primers and lapua cases.
44-45 grains of IMR4064 has worked for me with the 165 grain Hornady BTSP for 27 years now in three different 308s.

ReloaderA max charge of varget under the 165sst in R+P brass and WLR primers shoots great in a 700 LVSF 308 I load for. Very low SD and sub moa. 2700 fps avg
Good Luck

Giovan22Hello
I had luck with 43.4 grs of N-140. With Lapua brass and CCI BR primers shoots like a match load.

"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds. Get closer!
