I’m trying to develop a load for my Tikka T3x compact .308 Win., with a 20” barrel and 1-10 twist.
I’m loading Barnes 130 grain ttsx in Starline brass and CCI #200 primers.
I’ve tried Varget but haven’t found anything that is less than 2” groups at 100 yards, so I’ve purchased some Ramshot TAC. Barnes lists this as their most accurate powder tested.
Barnes load data has 46.1grains as min. And 51.2 grains max.
I’ve probably shot near 100 rounds trying to find a load using Varget with no acceptable success.
I’m hoping to find something using TAC, but without chasing 100 rounds.
I’ve read to post about painless load development, mostly the whole post, and just not sure where to start.
So my question is, how would you proceed using the “painless load development” method?
What recommendations do you suggest?
Thanks in advance
