I picked up some 175gr Berger VLD's for my new 308 Dimension thats in the mail from Haus of arms.

Everywhere I look 40-43gr of RL-15 seems to be the sweet spot riding on top of BR-2 primers.

Anyone have any factual input/feedback? my hornady manual does not specifically call out the 175gr bullet.

nosler lists IMR4895, RL15, Varget, etc...

Not yet, but it's on the list of things to do this summer, unless I switch to 7-08

Honestly, I have all the barrels I want or could ever need..... wait, look, there's another!!
