[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 251470, member: 12"] I think you will find that most people go with a couple powders, Varget, IMR 4064, being the top two and IMR 4895 and RL15 are good. F210, BR2 or WLR primers and the 175 SMK instead of the 180. OAL is 2.80 or so depending on your gun. My 308 likes 44.5 of Varget, BR2 and the 175 SMK and runs 2698 fps out of a 26 Rock barrel. Most loads with Varget are between 44 and 45 grains. Most loads with IMR 4064 are between 42.4 and 44.0 Most loads with RL15 are 42.8 to 44.5 IMR 4895 seems to be around 44.5 g Varget and 4064 seem to be the powders of choice with either the BR2 or WLR primers in Winchester, Lapua or LC brass. All depends on your gun. Hope this helps. BH [/QUOTE]
