Load for M14/M1A with Varget, 175SMK and M118 Brass
We’re trying to locate a good load, with minimal vertical stringing at 600 meters that won’t beat the rifles to death.
The rifles being used are the M14SSR type
Brass is M118 (7.62x51 / .308)
Powder is Varget
Primers are WLR
Bullets are SMK 175
We’d like a chamber pressure of 50,000 psi
And a port pressure of 12,500 psi (plus or minus 1500 psi)
The bullet must stay supersonic to 800 meters
Thanking everyone in advance.

I personally prefer WC846 or H4895/MILSURP 4895 for the 308.Appleseed Chief Master Instructor
Tired of how the country is?
Start bailing, grab a bucket and join in.
Come join me at an Appleseed near you!
