308 with 185 Juggs

[Deton8tor]

This has probably been discussed or cussed to death, but my searches revealed little. Going to a .308 and 185 Juggs or `180 Elite Hunters. Was looking for first hand load info. I do have manuals, just looking for real world performance.

Rifel: Surgeon, Bartlein 1:10 27.5 long, throated for 185 Juggs, lapua Palma brass. Thanks for the information.

If you type "185" into the search box right above your name on the right hand side of the screen, you will get more results that you can cope with. If you need even more than that, you can do a Google search like this: "site:forum.accurateshooter.com 185".

Thank you, I tried everything but that.

This is a common F tr load/setup: 45g Varget, Palma cases, 185g Jug, 2013 USA F tr reamer. Yields about 2770 fps in a 30 inch barrel.

This is a warm load that should be carefully worked up and will not be suitable for all chambers.

+1 for the above -

Varget, Lapua brass, BR-2s, and the 185 Juggernauts is also a very popular combination for both 600 and 1,000 yard F-TR shooters at the Tullahoma, TN matches. (Midsouthmarksmen.com)

Non Palma Lapua case, .100 freebore, 43.5 gns of Varget, jumping .015" shot awesome for me. 2720fps from a 28" barrel

Ditto the above. After load work up this is where I ended up as well. I'm using federal 210m primers. All of swadivers numbers match mine
