G'day,
I want to give Berger's 185 Juggernaughts a try and I'm now looking for a loading profile. I'm currently using 0.308 Lapua catridges, but also have stacks of once shot Winchester catridges at my disposal. What are your recommendation for a save load and what should I look out for?

I tested some Juggernauts today, started at 45gns of 2208 and worked up to where i needed to be using Lapua brass. What i used may/will be different for you so cannot recommend a load. They shot very well tho. .2gn increase in powder gave me about .5MOA POI difference at 300yds with a 11T barrel.
have fun.

Thanks! I wasn't sure what powder to use. Most reports mention Varget. I will give it a try.

Varget & AR2208 are the same powder. Just marketed in USA as Varget I believe.

Varget...export grade AR2208...just like those red wax tipped bannanas
Funny how the quality of an export product translates between countries, or has the meaning just changed with time?
