Foxshooter Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Varget or Vit N140 fit the bill Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldon Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yes Vit 140 will do it all. 44.4 grs behind a 165 hp sierra gives good results in my 308. 38.5 grs behind a 85 gr in my 243 is my usual and as nemasis said it will run the 58 grs ok.

Streeker59 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I use Varget for .223, .243 & .308, it's so versatile and unlike Vit is not affected by external temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarinePMI Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Win 760 is another option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I would have thought W748 was more appropriate. 760 is def better for heavy bullets, eg 100/105s in .243 and 180+ in .308s 748 is the speed king in long barrelled .308s shooting 155s. 3000fps is def do-able but it's considered as a less-than-accurate load at shorter range (under 500yds) by my very experienced clubmates Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
