[QUOTE="krhuntin, post: 155818, member: 1824"] I have loaded both out of my .308, 168 gr bullets, using imr 4064, lapua brass, and cci BR2 primers. My results using 43.7 grains of powder, ballistic silvertip grouped slightly better at 100 yards (0.33 4 shot group), ballistic tip was (0.52 4 shot group), I noticed for both of them the bolt started sticking at around 45.8 grains of powder. (Lapua cases always reduce the charge by 1 to 1.5 grains due to less volume). So out of a federal case that would be about 46.8 grains if not slightly higher. These were all worked up from 40.0 grains. I was getting around the 2700 mark for velocity. They both were almost identical in velocity. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
