Sako .308 reloading help

[Andrecalitzkleynhans]

I have a Sako 308 bavarian 85 and started to reload
I’m going to use Somchem s335 with sierra king 165gr gameking bullets
What is my minimum and maximum load and if possible my sweetspot load??

Thanks

I'm not familiar with that powder and never seen it in the Sierra manual. Some powders of different brands are the exact as imr, Hodgdon, Winchester and/or a few others. Do you know what oal you're loading it to? I have quick load and in most cases get an estimated load range?. I think I've seen that powder on there before.

I’ve never heard of Somchem either. I ran a search on it, and they have data on their website.
.308 with conventional bullets:

I'm also not familiar with that powder brand but they do have limited reloading data on their web site.
They don't show a 165-gr bullet with 335, but they do show a 168gr.

This should be 308 Winchester after you click accept

I see they have lot number variation listed for their powders, never seen that from any other powder company.

At least they're "consistent "
