Shooters World Precision & 155s

[rijndael]

Does anyone have some pet loads for Shooters World Precision and 155 Scenars?

My normal Varget load 44.7 (Bisley Chamber).

I've run the numbers in GRT, I have a ballpark, I'm just looking for real-world data in hopes a tidbit or two will save me a range trip. It normally takes me a handful of trips when working up a new load.

I have had good luck using Precision w/ Berger and Sierra 155s. Scenars should work as well. Even though they are a bit longer and have a bit more shank than the others, weight is the same. Load is very close but work up in any event. My Varget load is 46.5 gr.. Precision is close to that.
Precision is also very good with 90 gr. .223 loads as well.

What velocity does your Varget 44.7gr load produce? I would expect you will need to use slightly more Shooters World Precision (SWP) to match your Varget load.

In a 223 wylde chambered rifle, I have to use .5grs more SWP to match the velocity of my Varget load (24.7grs) with the 69gr Sierra Matchking bullet. It seems I have read quite a few reviews in line with my experience, SWP usually produces slightly slower velocity than Varget.

What cartridge are we to assume you are using?

2923fps

FWIW: A quick test shows that 45.5 of SWP got me 2839 fps. I'm finding that SWP and Varget are close in charge weights with my 175 SMK load, but it's not close for the 155s.

I could have been clearer. I mentioned a Bisley chamber, that's a .308.
