Load data for Hornady or Nosler 168gr BTHP match in AR10

[Surveyor1653]

So my chopped DPMS LR308 loves the Hornady 168gr BTHP Match rounds. I need a load that works in the AR10 so that I can duplicate the results I've gotten with the factory stuff. The factory load is giving me just over 1/2 MOA results out of my 18" barrel. The reason I mentioned the Noslers is because I'm having issues finding the Hornadys but not the Noslers. BC and other numbers are identical between the two bullets.

Anybody worked up a load that duplicates this factory round? I appreciate the help.

I have had good luck with Varget in my LR-308 16". With 165-168gr bullets 43gr of Varget (Win. brass and WLR primer) has been a good mild load with good accuracy (.5 to 1MOA). I think the FGMM is loaded with IMR4895, but I don't know about Hornady's match load.

168 smk with 43.5g varget got me just under 2700 out of my 20".

I run 43 grains of Varget over my 168's with a Federal Gold Medal Match primer in my DPMS.

Mike, what primers are you using?

ASP, are you using the Hornady bullets?

Thanks for the responses.

I have used both the 168 BTHP Hornady and the 168 SMK. I prefer the sierra for no reason other than availability in quantity. I have not tried the A Max or Nosler. However I do like shooting the 155 A max as well.

BR-2 match primers

lc brass too, by the way.

Im p[laying with some 110vmaxes and 130gr noslers, as well as hornady 150gr fmjbt bullets I got in bulk. Hopefully I can get the 150's accurate enough with aa2460 so that I dont have to trickle varget by hand.

Thanks for posting these, guys. I'm new to the .308 AR game and since ammo is pretty much gone everywhere I'm planning to load for it.

Thanks, guys. I planned a little too late. I should have purchased last week. Everyone that I've been to in person or online is pretty much out of everything.
