[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 868403, member: 10178"] With the 165 gr bullets I would give Varget and IMR 4065 the try first. CHECK YOUR DATA OUT IN SOME LOADING MANUALS. Some of the data given here is over max loads given in the manuals. Each rifle is a different critter so what shoots for one rifle may be waaaaay over pressure in yours. The 308 Win. is one of those calibers that does not loose a whole lot of velocity when the barrel is shortened some. You should be able to get around 2550 easy with 165 gr bullets. The Sierra game king and pro hunters are good bullets. I mainly used 150 Sierras until I discovered that the 125 Nosler ballistic tip killed deer like lighten struck them. Good luck on your quest.
