Win 748 308 data

[The_real_pb]

Does anyone have any data on loading
Win 748 with 168gr A-Max bullet? My Hornady Manual only has data for 150gr bullet and 175gr. I would think if win 748 can be used for those it could be used for 168gr. Any advice? Thanks! I’m shooting a Savage 110 Tact 308 if that is relevant.

Start with the 175 load data, lighter bullets need more powder to develop pressure so they will be just a touch on the light side (no your shoulder won’t know the difference) and work up to the performances you are looking for.

Good luck, post up some results from testing.
Have fun!
