ranger Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Does anyone have any favorite 308 Win loads for the 155 Nosler Competition bullet? I am trying to become a better long range shooter with a Remington 700 LTR 308 with 20 inch barrel. Why the 155 Noslers - I found a great deal on some and bought them. Thanks.

pbcaster45 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) I use that bullet almost exclusively in my M1A National Match. This one shoots great and it's my standard load. In lighter Winchester cases use about 1 grain more powder to get the same velocity. Bullet: Nosler 155 gr. HPBT CC Powder: Hodgdon H4895 43.0 grs. (02 May 13 Lot #5161) Primer: Winchester Large Rifle Case: Lake City 64 LOAL: 2.780 (2.196 with Stoney Point) Average Velocity: 2800.68 fps Extreme Spread: 29.05 Standard Deviation: 11.61 Edited January 26, 2015 by pbcaster45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM83 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 This load is a half minute load in my AI: 43.4gr AR-COMP Tula KVB-7 LR Primer Winchester brass 2.810 OAL 2700 FPS (20" barrel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dauntedfuture Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I dare say I have loaded much more in commercial cases with several 155's in a palma gun. I suspect that the throat on your rifle is very long so you will have to see what happens. The bullet does have a short bearing surface. With a 20" don't expect to get 3K FPS with those 155's.
