Ok guys i have just bit the bullet so to speak and have upgraded to lapua cases for my omark .308 with the 26in barrel.
Now my question is how much should i drop my powder load if all my other factors remain the same???, Eg: powder, primers, oal and projectile.
I was running a load of 46.1 of 2208 in winchchester cases with an average MV of 2887 with an S/D of 8.05 which has never showed signs of pressure problems.
As you could no doubt guess i would like to lift the MV to about 2950 and lower the S/D to around 4 or 5 providing there are no pressure signs.
I have also bought a N/S die just for the lapua cases instead of using the FLS die all the time like i was doing with the win cases.
Cheers Stuey
