7.62 Load


SGDM

Recommended Posts

We assume 7.62X51 Nato.

IMR 4064 and Varget have always worked for me.

175gr Sierra

4064 - 44.4grains = 2600fps in 24-26" barrel

Varget - 40grains = 2450fps, as above. I found that if you go to much more accuracy went to crap.

168gr Sierra

W748 - 46.8grains

BLC2 - 45grains

V V N550- 47grains

IMR4064 - 44.7grains

H380 - 48.2grains

All these will get to just under or on 2700fps in 26".

All tested in a Barnard 300m prone rifle 26" SS Match Barrel. All shot sub 1.25" of a bench at 300M. Zero wind and a BIG scope.

Hey Cowboy,

Here is my old Hi-power standard for 308

168gr hpbt Sierra Matchking

40.5gr IMR 4895

Win Primer

Oal 2.800

I think that 2600 fps was about right for this load out of my old Springfield M1A supermatch. I havent chronographed this load out of my bolt guns yet but it is still a very consistent performer in any gun I have tried it in.
