Timbo1963 Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Both work well in my AT. I use Varget/N140/RS52 for 155gr SMK/Scenar. N150/RS62 for 167/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Hi there my AT loves 155+168. Amax. n135 for all 155s and n150 for 168 to 185s . Berger fullbore 155.5 very very good also 175 and 185 bergers . It’s not so happy with lapua or Sierra TMk s . 42.5 g of n135 for 155 s and 44-45 grains of n150 for the heavies . Coal 2.9 inch. Cbto 2.237. Hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Forgot to say the Amax can end up jammed into the lands if made to 2.9 coal thinks it’s cos they are a blunt ish design so go with the cbto length . They worked fine at 2.81 coal . Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 What length barrel are you using? a friend has 20” AT he has asked me to help load for. I have N150 and 175gr Sierra match kings but think a 155gr might be better from the shorter barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hi all my AT has 26” barrel with the threaded muzzle break and screw on AI moderator . 155.5 Berger s are the best accuracy 42.5 g of N135 2.9 “ coal gives less then thumbnail size groups at 100yds and at 300 all shots in the bull on a modified ie small bull f-class target cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Sorry didn’t have pics for the Berger 155.5 s so put the above in for fun still learning how to work the i phone . Above was with 44 grains of N150 coal 2.9” and cbto of 2.237 . Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 175 Berger s with 44.5 g of N550 at 100 yd’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Btw all above 10 shot groups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 44.5 g Varget or VV N140 under 155 g seated to 2.850 is the recognised go to load in the 308’s I’ve owned (Ai) Usual safety caveats apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushy Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Slight thread hijack but could someone ‘in the know” suggest whether it is likely that a optimal load in the 26” tube would likely still be optimal in a shorter tube, say 20”? Difficult to quantify but does anyone have any experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
