Re: Jumping straight in with a Lapua designated 'Accuracy' l

There must be more data for it surelly. Can not be just one sheet of paper who manufactures it.
But what do I know. :cheers:
The guys original question luck has it he was wise enough to come here and ask but he was about to load a maximum load using N140 data. On the piece of paper with the data it clearly says T140 is not the same as N140. The dealers I get my stuff from will all ways ask especially if they dont know you if you have used the powder before and if you want any help. I am sure T140 is a fine powder but I would prefer to spend the extra money and get a powder that the manufacturer supplies comprehensive data for. Like a reloading manual for instance. Vitavouri do a good one.Hey all,
Before I start down the .308 reloading route, I was wondering what people's thoughts were on loading straight to a recipe specified by Lapua as an 'accuracy load'?
The bullets in question are Lapua 155gr Silver Scenars with the Silver Jacket. They say, with N140, to use 45.5gr of N140 to achieve a velocity of 2,805fps. I'm using TR140...
Edit: here's a link to the page - http://www.lapua.com/en/products/reload ... odata/5/70 - the data is about half way down.
I know the advised wisdom is to build up to a load so my questions are: do I need to in this case? if so, by what amounts should I work the load up?
But what do I know. :cheers:
