[QUOTE="LRNimrod, post: 1048123, member: 87551"] 308 is one of the easiest cartridges to get shooting well quickly anywhere. The advice above is excellent in terms of bullets and powders. 4064, MR-2000 (not mentioned but very good and meters well), Varget, 4895, CFE223, RL-15, all work well. You didn't mention the purpose of your load development - hunting or paper. If hunting, 150 grain ballistic tips or accubonds are superb and I like VV540 (48 - 49 grains) which delivers high velocity (2925 - 2950) and accuracy with Fed 210 primers. I always use Lapua brass. Not as a brass snob, it just seems to have perfect neck tension and workability…and delivers with accuracy. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
