What caliber are you shooting?

What caliber are you shooting?

Sorry , .308

.308 Winchester .... I would probably start with about 41.0 grains of Varget and work up about .4 grains at a time. Using three round sets you'll only need about two dozen rounds to find the sweet spot.

I have another question for the experienced reloaders/shooters here , as said i have a great load with the 155,s , is it worth my while (as my wind reading skills need to be worked on anyway) to go to the 185,s?, or am i as well off to stick with what i have and develop my wind reading skills , how much advantage will the 185,s give me @ 1000 yards left/right? thanks again.
