Has any one loaded shells for this rifle? if so what work best for you. I have been trying different loads with sierra game kings 150's and 180's just not getting the group i want.

For optimum accuracy out of a factory barrel, this is what I would start with
Lapua brass
Federal 210 Gold Medal Match primers
VihtaVouri powder (N140 or N550)
150 / 165 gr Sierra bullets
bullets seated .010 into the lands
don't overlook R15 , H322 , Benchmark or Varget powders
* if you need specific load data , I'll have to go look for it
otherwise , google "308 handload data" as a lot of stuff will show up -
I like Varget with 150gr ballistic tip or 168gr Matchking. I have also had good luck with IMR 4350 and BLC-2.Comment

Thanks for the info.
I was using the IMR 4350 but I finally found Varget that I haven't got to try yet.
I did do some google searches 1st before I posted but couldn't find much for this gun. I did find some more after I posted and got some good data I want to try.
Hopefully I will get to shoot some more this weekend and try out the varget powder and a-max bullets I just got.Comment
