MFDCan't speak to your particular bullet, but for the Sierra 155Palma, 46.2gr's of 4064, Lapua brass, Fed. 210M primers. Delivers excellent accuacy and still supersonic at 1000yds w/ 30" barrel. Old Sierra book lists loads up to 48gr's of 4064, but that would be compressed and use of drop tube and never found it needed that much of a charge to do the job at about any distance. The 46.2 of 4064 is plenty warm as it is and keep out of the sun.

DRSIn my .308, I use:
44.0 grs/IMR-4064/150 gr. Hornady Spire Points...Loaded in Winchester Brass using CCI-BR Large Rifle Primers. Also I just started working with using Varget powder and only had the chance to fire a few rounds with 150 grainers. I used 45.0 grains of Varget, but need to work-up an accurate load.
