[PaulC]

Hi all I have a couple of hundred 178g A maxes, and was wondering if anyone has a load data ideas I currently us 155 grain scenars with vit 140 out too 1000 yards I am using a 29 inch 1 in 12 barrel .308 and I can't source varget to easily.

Thanks Paul

Viht 150 would be a good choice, it delivers good velocities for the 175's (and I'm sure the 178's...)

Paul,google Vihtavuori reloading data 2013

This has V loads for 175g,and includes V140powder.Should be a good starting/and probably finishing point. Accurate `shooter site,if you don't know it,is good too but tends to be US powder oriented.

But the V site should see you right/safe.

Thanks for the info gents I shall try some loads with the n140 and keep about 3 grains below my 155g load which is 45.5 grains Of n140 giving me just over 3000 fps I no most people use n150 for heavier loads thanks again.

I could not find 178 amax load with N150 Have Tikka T3 Tac,.308, 24", twist 1:11. I heard that the best choice of speed 2460 2600 2780 2950fps. N150 is slower than the N140, and it is for the heavy bullets. Needs a good starting load. I'll try later OCW method
I ask also for the best COAL for the 178 A-max on Tikka.
By the way does anyone have a load for for Barnes TTSX 180 and Nosler BT Hunter 180 with N150
Please for sharing all your experience Tikka .308 N150 load
