i got some reloader 15 for my .308 recently since the shop was out of varget and actually have not shot any of my starter loads for RL15 yet using rem bulk 165 core lokt, but i also got a box of 40g vmax to try in my .204 and found they shot way better than the 32g vmax... i found one load of 27.2g RL15 and a 40g vmax but have no idea of min or max load but in the wind of 5-10mph at 300 yds with no POA in particular i put 5 shots in 5 inches and would like to improve this load
the guns
-ruger mkII 20" bbl .204
-remington 788 .308 22" bbl
the bullets
-165g rem bulk core lokt
-hdy 32g vmax
-hdy 40g vmax
i am basically looking for good medium long(less than 500yd) range loads based around accuracy mostly shootin paper an varmints i was thinkin id try the 165 sst boat tail ballistic tip next also. i like the velocity range of rl15 in .308 and would be interested what velocity the 40g and 27.2g RL15 may produce. the store has several lb of RL15 still and i thought about pickin up two lbs or so next time along with some sst and 40g vmax, bear in mind i did get a box of 250 32g i still can use and currently only have about 85 40gvmax left....... load info basically?
