.308 loads using Speer 168gr match bullets?

Does anyone have any load data for these bullets? Will be used in a Weatherby Vanguard. I have Varget powder. Thanks! :)
 
The 168 Speer is very similar to and in practice usually uses identical loads data to those for the 168gn Sierra MK. Loads for the latter are found everywhere in any source for 308 Win.

FWIW, Hodgdon quotes starting load 42gn; max 46gn VarGet for the Sierra version (Winchester case F210M primer); Speer #14 quotes - Surprise, Surprise! - starting load 42gn; max 46gn (IMI Commercial case CCI-200 primer).

These bullets are so easy to tune in most barrels that there will be multiple good charge weights within that 4gn range.
 
You'll want to start lower of course but my Sako TRG Likes the 168's at 46.0 grs with Varget and 42.5 with
AA 2460 both with Fed 210 primers accuracy is about the same. YMMV
