45 grains of varget with any 150grain bullet works well with mine
Deershooter
Hi all,
just put in for my .308 variation, its going to be my dedicated deer rifle(mainly roe/Fallow) so I am after any tips for bullet/powder choice.
I have had good results with sierra bullets for my .223, so has anyone got any recipes for these?

45 grains vit 540 sierra 155g palma match very accurate!!
what rifle will you be loading for?
Have a wee look through these mate
43gr N140; 167gr Lapua Scenars - seems to work reasonably well in my 308s
I have just had my first dabble at homeloading .308 rounds, the thing that I wanted to achieve was better grouping than I was getting with the factory loads. I was at one of the farms that we shoot, and I had taken the .308 with me. I went into a field where it was safe and put a few shots through the Howa at 100 yards.. Conditions were bright but a blustery wind, 1 shot slightly wayward but in the conditions I was very pleased. The squares are 1 cm.
This is the group. Job just about done..
The rounds are running at 2700 feet per second, using 150 grain Sierra Pro-Hunter soft point, 43.1 grains of Viht N140 powder, Fedral cases and Magtech primers. Rifle is a Howa 1500 .308 with a P8 moderator and a Nikko Gold 9 x scope. . Hope that this helps.
Try some 168gr AMax
