At Gator Guns near Kenai. It is very good brass.
I finally chronographed my load using a Ohler 35 during a break in the weather.
I am obtaining 2,350 fps with the 200 grain Hot Cores. Not bad for a 20 inch barrel.
I tried dropping the load back by half a grain. 42.5 grains of N-150. That gave me 2,320 fps BUT the group opened up to 1.5 inches. So back to the 43.0 grain load for me. It is a nice tight clover leaf 1/4 inch group. Obviously primer sensitive. Oh and by the way this N-150 is very clean burning. And my max deviation is only 9 fps.
It is listed in the last couple of Lyman books.

Sounds excellent. I just added a .308 Model 7 to my collection this winter, and have been using PPU factory loads in 150-gr due to the shorter barrel length. I have a .308 Remington 788 that I have sighted in with PPU's 180-gr factory loads also, to cover most every base. He he. Now I just have to get my reloading bench set back up and start cranking out reloads on PPU brass that I have accumulated.
