I have a couple of hundred Privi 168grn .308 bullets - has anyone any loading data using currently available powders?

I get good performance with 174gn PPU bullets and Reload Swiss RS60 powder with my K31.
No need to suppose that 168gn PPU won't work as well.
Google Reload Swiss and check out their on-line load data.

Re: 7.5 x 55 Swiss
+1 I use the 174gn PPU bullet and am still working my way through a stock of Reloder 17 (RS60) with very good results, I would look at the Vhit data for 167gn bullets and work up from the lower point with N140, and when they are all gone switch to the 174 gnukrifleman wrote:I get good performance with 174gn PPU bullets and Reload Swiss RS60 powder with my K31.
