308 Winchester Berger 200.20x N150

the above were for a short 20" standard 308 bbl, when using a Palma or F-T/R bbl that velocity goes up

Yeah, 8-10 inches of barrel will do that

I am assuming most people have had better ignition with the magnum small rifle primers vs the standard ? I have been loading 45gr of IMR 4350 with the standard small rifle primers with very accurate results but at 2453fps on avg. I have heard of people running a bit faster like roughly 2600 fps while holding consistent velocity with the N150 so I ordered an 8lb can to try it out.

What barrel lenght do you have? We are assuming it is a 30"...

I did a little research before I decided to ask for some advice here. I am wanting to put together a load for 308 Winchester with Berger 200.20x and N150 just looking for some start loads and an idea of where the max load would be. I am loading these a little short currently about .030 off the lands at 3.100 I wanted to try to find an accuracy load and then play with a little seating depth. Anyone able to help me out here ?
Thanks

Use the minimum powder charge to do your bullet seating depth testing with first:
A general rule of thumb with the Berger Elite Hunter and Hybrid Target bullets is to start your bullet seating depth testing at .015" off the lands. Then you work back into the cartridge case in .015" increments (.015",.030", .045", .060"). When you find a bullet seating depth that shows promise, you can test .005" to either side of that CBTO if you wish to see if accuracy can be improved. All bullet seating depth testing is done using the starting powder charge!

Thanks for posting the same basically useless computer-generated data that was already posted earlier in the thread. Very helpful.
