308 with 200 20x

[Bottom Fodder]

Trying to help a friend get into f class shooting, he has a 8 twist I think .170 freebore
308 and 200 20x bullets not sure what powders and primers he has to try in his Lapu brass
just wonder what your favorite load is for 600 and 1k just to use as a starting direction to see how his good shoots
thanks

Lapua SRP brass, Fed 205 primer, Varget, 2640-2650 fps from a 30" barrel, 200.20Xs seated at .009" to .012" off the lands. That typically requires about 43.5 gr Varget.

+1 for the Varget load

The 200.20x bullets should be hitting dealers end of JULY / EARLY AUGUST 2023.
Because inventory is still selling out almost immediately, your best bet would be to contact a few of your favorite dealers to get on a notification list to be notified when they get their next shipments. If you are waiting until you happen to find them in stock somewhere, you will likely be too late and miss out. Please see below for a list of dealer options near you.

I think most tr shooters are using varget or n150. I don't know what charges they run.I shoot open.

I just received 200 of them that I sent in the gift certificate for from 2022 FCNC. Will have to search again to find more (will check out Midsouth).

Saw them on the shelf at Bruno's yesterday , when I picked up a 8 pounder of N-150 , but they only had a couple of the N-150 . Probably gone by now . If I could have afforded it , I'd have gotten two .
