[QUOTE="bsd230, post: 2632984, member: 6111"] Just for future reference for anyone else that comes across this page while reloading, here is the response from Sierra regarding their 220 grain SMK: "35.0 to 37.0 grains of IMR 4064 Although I didn't find a listing for Varget with 220s I’d say 36.0 grains to start would be okay and work up. I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't go to 40.0 + with the light Winchester cases. This is a very heavy bullet for the 308 and your velocities will be very modest as well, probably in the 2200 fps range. So don’t get impatient and be careful with your load workups." [/QUOTE]
