    .223 Varget or H335

    Has anyone worked up .223 loads with Varget or H335 with a 50 grain SBK? I'm looking for a ballpark idea on where to start for my Tikka 595.

    Duplicating 168gr 308 Black Hills Match Ammo

    I just opened a can of Varget for the first time and the powder from the BHM 175 does appear to be Varget. The pic I posted seems to be a bit dark on here. The powder does have a silver/gold tint.

    Duplicating 168gr 308 Black Hills Match Ammo

    I pulled a Black Hills Match 175gr apart to see the powder and weigh it. It was 42.0 grains of stick powder. I'm attaching a photo that shows it on the left and Reloader-15 on the right. Anyone have ideas on what it may be other than the standard "non-canister" powder?

    168 gr. Federal Match Ammo specs

    Apparently I touched a nerve with this post. If you're not interested in the FGMM round this post is not for you. We all have pet loads that work well for a particular rifle (I have them too) , but that's not the point of this thread.

    168 gr. Federal Match Ammo specs

    I can't say how many people are out there trying to reproduce the revered 168 grain Federal Match round, including me. Searching the web for details specs on this round was disappointing. The consensus seems to be IMR-4064 powder at 2.800" OAL for the "old" round and now Federal is using a...

    168 & 175 SMK specs

    The devil is in the details as they say. Its probably all relative to what you're trying to acomplish. I like trying to squeeze every bit of accuracy I can outta my rifle/loads just for kicks. And thanks Winston!

    168 & 175 SMK specs

    I've searched everywhere to find the bullet specs on the 168 and 175 SMKs. I even called Sierra and asked what the design length was for both bullets, but all they could give me was what the tech measured on his own. I've done that on myself so it wasn't much help. Don't get me wrong I'm not...
