I've got a 175 SMK load that I will chronograph if and when it quits raining.
It's 44 grains of Varget and very accurate, I just don't know how fast it's moving yet.
It's averages 2689 out of my 26 inch sps varmint. The recent monsoon season has kept me
from getting the 20 inch results. It shoots really well in both rifles.
I will get back with you it that's a load/bullet weight your interested in.

Not a SPS Tactical, but I have a Remington Model 700 SPS .308 that I have had the 24" Barrel shortened and re-crowned at 20" (same length as the SPS Tactical). This past weekend I ran 5 Winchester 150gr. Power Points through this 20" .308. The results were:

I have been prepping Winchester Brass to load up some test loads. I have 150gr. & 165gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips, VARGET Powder and CCI-BR2 Primers. With a little luck I will get them shot next week, and will have some more chronograph data when I get my load(s).
