308win 178gr ELD-M n140 load data

[Chris Butler]

Anyone shooting this combo?
Struggling to find load data for this combo?
Lyman manual has a max charge of 43.8 for the 178 AMax
Vihtavuori's load data has a max charge for the 180 Berger Elite Hunter at 41.1 and the 175 Sierra HPBT/VLD at 41.4. Those seem to be the 2 closest bullets they list.

I have a 24" barrel 1-10 twist

A bit more info would be helpful . Brass you plan to use . Primer . And do you plan to use this as a single load round , or magazine fed . All very relative to your initial post .

Chris,

I use this powder and bullet for a 20" gas gun, 1 in 10 twist. Best accuracy/precision @ 41.5 gr. with CCI 34 primers and nominal cartridge COL. Federal brass, neck turned and PP reamed and FH cleaned up. Sub MOA at 100, haven't tried it any further out.

HTH,
DocBII
