[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1501346, member: 10429"] When I was going through the powders for the 308 I was looking at what was always on the shelves at stores and what provided the best velocity. The IMR 4895 seem to always be on the shelves at a couple of the local sporting goods stores. It also was listed in a few of the manuals providing top velocity for the 168 grain bullets. My gun has a 26 inch barrel; so I guess that gives it a little extra speed. I'm going to try a seating depth load work up on the elds at my normal charge with the federals or the BR2. If the L C brass doesnt pan out I have plenty of hornady and norma brass. I think I just need to go with one brand but the norma and hornady seem to shoot about the same with the 168 amax. The LC stuff was stupid cheap when I bought them. It was 10 or 12 dollars clearance sale. So I picked them up to see what they wold do. So far not so good with the primer pockets. Hopefully after this first firing the pockets will expand just a little. Then I wont have the seating issue. [/QUOTE]
