reloading trg22

[huntsman]

I am about to start loading my Sako TRG 22. I have loaded for another caliber in the past so I understand the basics. I have very limited ingredients for the 308;

Vit 140, nosler 165 ball tips and fed 210 primers. I know it likes the 167 scenars factory.

any suggestion please.

 

Thanks

I load for 308, not trg, and my load is using similar items.

May not be safe in yours etc etc.

 

Vit 140 44.5 grs

Sierra 165 HPs

CCI standard large rifle (200 ?)

Lapua cases

2.820 oal

 

This gives out of 24'' 2705 fps.

This is getting towards max for mine.

Good accuracy for me with very consistent 5/8 or better groups.

Very effective head, sorry bullet on deer and it doesn't exit on reds.

It's your lucky day, that's the recipe for one of my favourite loads in my TRG.

 

Try working up to 44.5 of N140 and seat the bullet 10 thou short of the lands, but it will be very tight in the magazine.

 

Failing that gets some 168 Amax and Reloader 15

 

Have fun and let us know how you get on

My load is for my sako 75. I robbed it from Varmartin & it works like a dream..

155 grn Nosler competition

44 grns Varget.

IMI brass.

Fed gold primers.

COL. 2.810"

Ave Vel 2700 fps

Should work well as our barrels are from the same stable...

yeh and he robbed it from yours truly

 

come to think of it they all robbed it from me

 

oh well buy yourself a tub or 10 of varget, scenar 155gr, a primer or two, 44gr of the varget and seat booooolets at 2.810

 

and go get yourself some medals

 

some have won stuff on it you know

 

havent they

Elwood,

what COL are you ending up with when using the Nosler 165 gr. Only I was using the stoney point gauge this evening and was getting readings of 2,940 -2.960 " when I could just feel it touch. This seemed very long or is it to do with the ballistic tip bullet ogive being set back?

 

thanks to everyone else for the info
