[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2374996, member: 95733"] My friend has just acquired a used but LNIB Ruger Precision Rifle, set of Redding dies and around 400 175/SMK, 100 1x fired Lapua brass and 100 unfired Lapua brass. He has Large rifle primers and all other needed reloading tools. All he needs is powder and he asked me what powders I felt best to get and I recommended IMR 4064 as #1 then #2 RL15, or Varget as #3. Unfortunately he can not find any in stock anywhere. BIG surprise. Well I have an abundance of 308 suitable powders just not RL15 or Varget and not enough IMR 4064 left to be able to part with any as I can not replace it. I am willing to give him what other 308 suitable powders I have but have no reloading experience with any them for the 308 Winchester. So could those with the most experience reloading 308 Winchester and 175 grain SMK please suggest which of the fallowing powders would most likely give the best accuracy for 308 and 175 SMK. I have these fallowing powders in sufficient abundance I can easily part with minimum of two pounds of one or two but not all. Hodgdon CFE 223 IMR 4166 Ramshot Tac Accurate 2520 Thanks to all for your help. [/QUOTE]
