1chota Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Anyone using Varget for .308 loads with the 135 SMK? What is the max load you can safely use? I am sitting on 46.o grains of Varget and cannot find any data for the 135 grain bullet. Thanx in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911 S.I.S.sy Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I had better luck with TAC and the light bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 You shud be in the ballpark, 44.5 - 47.0ish is what I played with. Seems like I remember 45.5 was my sweet spot. Went with the 155smk instead. jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R112mercer Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Wait. You can get Varget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chota Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Wait. You can get Varget? I HAVE Varget. Failure to plan ahead on the parts of others does not constitute panic on my part. I also have bullets, brass and primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Careful. You will suddenly find that you have relatives you never knew existed. May as well tell everyone you won the lotto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Cowboy Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Anyone using Varget for .308 loads with the 135 SMK? What is the max load you can safely use? I am sitting on 46.o grains of Varget and cannot find any data for the 135 grain bullet. Thanx in advance, I've gone as high as 49.0g of Varget (WLR primers & LC Brass) with the 135 SMK but that was a little hot. Definitely don't start there. That was in my 16" armalite that you are familiar with. OAL was 2.795 in. 46.0 grains should be fine if you are using regular rifle primers. However, if you are using magnum primers (Like the CCI 7.62 primers), you could start seeing pressure signs around 46.0 grains.
