Load for 308 nosler 168g ballistic tip .308

Post by Diddums » 25 May 2018, 2:56 pm

I'm going away this weekend and don't have time to do any testing.

Wondering if anyone has any load data to get me in the ball park.
168g nosler ballistic tips.
20" 1 in 10 barrel.
Will be using AR2206H.

Thanks mate, was thinking about there and see how it goes.

Loaded up some rounds tonight for this weekend and I was using some load data for a comparable projectile but I started getting compressed loads very quickly.
Started at 41g and was going to go to 43.5g but I started getting slight compression at 41.5g.

I'm using adi brass and have heard that it has lower internal volumes compared to other manufacturers but didn't realise it made that much of a difference.

I did weigh an ADI case vs a lapua case and there was nearly 10 grains difference with the lapua been lighter.
