Load Data for Lapua 185 gr Scenars in 308

Looking for load data for Lapua 185 gr Scenars in 308 using ADI 2208. 30 inch barrel, 1:10 twist. Appreciate any feed back.

Tested these just recently in a 31 inch 10T barrel. They touch the lands in my chamber with a COAL of 2.856. Loaded with 0.020 jump, 43.3 gr AR 2208 velocity average over 10 rounds was 2678 fps. Palma brass with Federal 205M primer.

Thanks for that.

In response to NDO's data; My COAL came in at 2.930" and base to ogive at 2.250". I'm ladder testing between 45.5 and 46.5 of 2208 as I need to reach out to 800 metres plus.
Comparatively, I measured this against the Berger 185 Juggernauts. COAL was 2.817". To ogive was 2.020". Interesting. It would seem the Scenars have a more severe ogive which suggests the juggernauts are more efficient in streamlining.
Comments invited.

For initial testing with the 185 Scenars I suggest start lower, be on the safe side and get some baseline velocity data. Say around 43-43.3 gr. From there you can adjust the load.

Going straight to 45.5-46.6 is putting you at the risky end, excessive pressure...

For comparison, my 800M load with the Berger 185 Juggs is a little over 44 gr 2208, no problem at 800M, velocity around 2720 fps.
