If it’s not too late, since your trying a new load, look at the Hornady 165 gr. SST bullet. I now use it in my 308 strictly. I use 46.5 grains of Varget (this is my personal load, use in yours at your own risk....bla bla bla) and it’s a tack driver out of my Henry Lone Ranger. Start out lower...

With those options I would build the 6.5 grendel. I'm curious why 243 isnt an option but you know your reasons. I built all my 4 children a 243 bolt when they got old enough and they still have them 20 years later. Still use them. It is any thing from a varmint gun to a medium sized game rifle...

Not sure why my post didn’t include my response but here we go. I agree with the Varget powder. My load for my rifles is a very accurate one. my load is as follows and should not be used by anyone . If you use it ,you do so at your own risk. I load my 308 Winchester with 46.5 grains of Varget...

Should say varget powder and I will add lake city brass

I agree with the target but I have found a very accurate,in my 308s, load of 46.5 grains with a 150 hornady sst bullet, and of all things winchester primers. Shoots equally well in both my rifles. This is my load and not intended for use by others , to do so is at your own risk....blag blag...

Depends on your budget and distance you want to shoot. I have 2 rifles configured for long distance shooting but my latest build, my 3rd, is a Ruger American Rifle in 308. It has incredible accuracy out of the box. It was an easy build with it. I replaced the a few parts but the accuracy at 800...

I should mention that these loads are fired from my Savage 110 and my Ruger American rifle. Both seem to like the same loads which never happens. I am lucky there because I can just load one combination. I shoot out to 600 yards with these rifles and they are very consistant

Just a little background I have been reloading and shooting various calibers for over 30 years. As a long range shooter I have found that as a hunting round in 308, what has been the best performer is Varget and the Sierra 165 bullets. I have had good luck using the 165 game king and the 168...

Se my next post for correct info. sorry
