Thread: Bergara 308 single shot load development

Well after a failed attempt to get 155gn eldm to shoot I have had some success.
Big cheers to @stug for putting me onto 125gn accubonds.
Did a small ladder test starting at 43.5 going up in .5 increments to 45.5.
I started getting pressure signs at 45.5gn but by far my best grouping was at 44gn



I'll call that done 2784fps and near enough 100ft/lbs at 400 yards.

Here is what I believe are the first signs of pressure (hard to tell in a single shot but you can see a crater starting to form around the indent left by the firing pin and a reasonably flat primer.
