    Speer Manual #13 lists this :
    Test Gun = Rem. 700 -- 22" bbl
    308 Win.
    165 gr Speer Bullet
    IMI case (commercial case with mil. spec. capacity, ie: w/thicker brass -- less capacity but higher pressure from same load in commercial capacity case).
    Primer = CCI Magnum Primer reccomended with this powder (ball powder).
    H-380 Powder:
    Start Load = 45.0 gr for 2251 fps
    Maximum Load = 49.0 gr (compressed load) for 2529 fps
