.308 150 grn Hornady SST load?

[Alexis Machine]

Quick question. Does anyone have a load for the Hornady 150 grn SST using Varget powder? I will be loading to magazine length for my 18" Remington 700 sp. It just so happens to have a lead of about 3/8 of an inch per lawyers at Remingtons orders so I'm just going to start at 2.8. I have about 6 pounds of Varget and about 10000 CCIBR primers so I'm going with that, using Federal brass. Im thinking about 45.5- 46 grains should be a place to start. Anyone got anything else? Thanks.

www.loaddata.com has the following loads for 150 grain Hornady bullets (yes, including the SST) with Varget in .308 listed, beginning with the starting load and working up to max:
35.9 grains - 2263 FPS
38.2 grains - 2375 FPS
40.4 grains - 2508 FPS
42.6 grains - 2635 FPS
44.9 grains - 2763 FPS
The other components were Hornady cases and Winchester large rifle standard primers, with the total case overall length with the SST listed as 2.735".
The rifle they have listed in which they worked up these loads was a Ruger M77 MKII with a 22" barrel.

Thanks. Is that OAL using a comparator?

Dunno about that one.
It's just published data, and that's all I can say.
