I shoot the Hornady 150gr FMJBT bullet in my K31's. I've tried a number of different match bullets, but they seem to love the cheaper FMJ. With IMR4064 Ican hold the x-ring of an SR target off the bench at 200yds. Top 20 two years ago at Perry with my K31.

I got excellent results with the Hornady 178gr A-Max over 44.0 grs of IMR4064, but want to try a Hornady 150gr FMJ. I was thinking working in the 44.0 to 46.0 grs range with IMR4064. How does that jive with your own loads?

Well, everybody else has their pet load, here's mine:
Hornady's 150FMJBT over 46grns of Reloder 15 powder.
Outshoots GP11 at 100Y
My Cases: NNY with CCI primers, or GP11 brass with RWS Berdan primers. Both shoot the same.

So many powders and bullets, so little time. I would imagine that Varget would work well, and proabaly H-380, a great, but little mentionned powder that works well in the 308.

Nice groups. I made the experience by reloading VV powder that sometimes charges with a difference from 0.2 grains can make a better grouping. Wonder why because you only can see a extremly small difference in speed of the bullets.

Thanks, Gunner.
I can't explain why a few tenths of a grain of powder makes such a difference in group size, but I've noticed it with other rifles that I reload for also.
Makes it all the more amazing that factory loaded ammo does as well as it does, usually.
Is it hard to get reloading supplies in Germany? What kind of bullets, primers, and brass do you use? Reloading press and dies?
Thanks for indulging all my questions

Do you shoot different bullet weights depending on the weather?

Hi Steve,
No at the moment it isnt hard. Somtimes it is very expensive. I use PRVI brass with CCI BR 2 primers. Lapua silver scenar bullets in 167grs and for heavy windage and rain 185grs. of the same bullet. I work with a rock chucker supreme press and for the G11 with necksizing and seating dies from Hornady.
Best regards,
Ulrich
