308 and benchmark

[crbrumbelow]

What kind of results are you guys having with Benchmark and 165 gr bullets in the .308 Win.?

 

[MSwickard]

Can't comment on BM and 165 grainers, but BM and 134/10 Ogive BIB and 134/7 ogive BIB bullet worked very well in my HBR 308 Obermeyer. I was using 44.7 gn. Lapua 308 brass, Fed 210, Bullets 0.020" off lands.

Personally, I would look at another powder for 165's. BM is a little too fast. I would look toward N140 or 748.

i have a rem 700vls with hvy bbl and a shepherdscope on it they reccomend 168 gr @2700 fps which i am getting with imr4064 it is extremely accurate at all ranges out to 700 yds thats as far as i have shot it, it's calibrated to 1000,, if ur not getting accuracy i'd try tht load also,
