RE: I have question about increasing pressure in a 308 load
I have an older Remington M700 mountain rifle in 308 win, A rare one I think its the only one I have ever seen chambered in .308 win.
The brass was factory ammo first, then I neck sized it and thats what I have for brass. I dont see any reason to buy brand new brass.
A factory load for a 165 grain bullet pushes right at or a little above 2700 fps from most data I have looked at. I am just wanting to hit factory velocity, what charge weight would give me factory velocity? the extra velocity is unimportant to me all i want is to be at or slightly above 2700 fps. My load data from hodgdon states the 46 grains of varget hits a velocity of 2773 fps from a 24 inch barrel, My rifle has a 22 inch barrel.
