EAR - you do nott say what you are shooting at. there is an article on riflemans journal. com on reloading the 308. 6mmbr also. also michael E. ( if he is not a popsicle right now) can give some advice. i would filler up with varget and a 168 balistic tip.
If I remember correctly, I ran 178 A-max with Varget. I think 44.5grn was my max load. Grouped okay though. I am a big fan of AR Comp right now. I use it with 168 NBT's. Very accurate.

Thanks for the replies... planning to be shooting at deer. I will be doing some load testing tonight all going well so will report back.
Cheers,

Love to hear how you did. Pics of the rifle and targets would be nice!

Yes, unfortunately the rain here at the moment isn't helping but I figure I will likely to be hunting in rain so will replicate field conditions ;) Actually I've just been waiting 2 weeks to get some loads down range so unless itīs a hurricane, I will be out there!
I will be using a Lee collet neck die for the first time, so hope the learning curve isn't too steep...
