Use the 155 berger VLD and 46 grains of varget. Those bullets fly and have good BC's Another load is 42.5 G of N140 and either a sierra 168 or a LTB 186 Berger bullett. I shoot holes through holes at 100 and 200 yards no joke. One hole five bullets just.19 larger than the .308 bullet size. steven Shaw

thanks for the help!i have some 167scenars(10.9g) and some 170gr(11g) d46's,have had better luck with the d46's but have pushed the scenars pretty hard, might back off a bit and try some new loads,thanks again bobby

Hello,

My actual load for my M1A is comprising a 155 grs. LAPUA-Scenar bullet seated to COL of 72,0 mm, 44 grs. of Kemira N 140, IMI-brass and CCI-Benchrest Primers - this means a Vo of 830 meter per second out of my rifle.

Maybe this will also work with your 152 grs. bullets - but if your intention is to shoot also long range I would recommend the Lapua- Scenar bullets because of their very good BC.
