    Default Berger 155 Hybrid Target

    Rainy and humid outside. Great time to catch up an a little fodder for the bolt rifles.

    .308 Lapua cases 2nd loading, 43.1 gr of IMR 4895, 210M primers pushing a new bullet, to me, Berger 155gr Hybrid Target. Should be running right around 2750.
    Now , when the sun shines, I hope this load does too.

    You work that up or just pick it and hope? 43.1 grains of IMR 4895 is a tick, a really small tick, below current minimum of 43.5 at 2,664 FPS out of a 24" barrel.
    Spelling and grammar count!

    Load is right out of Berger's loading book. Thought I would try the horse's mouth instead of the other end for a change. They state min. 40.5 for 2606fps and max 45 for 2879 fps for a 24" barrel. Haven't chroned the load yet, but my guesses are usually pretty close. Barrels will be FN with 20" and Rem 700 with 26" so the load fps should fall in that range somewhere.

    Looks like some 21st Century reloading equipment in that picture. You use their neck turning lathe out of curiosity.

    No 21st Centuries, but Hornady has a nice set up to.
