[QUOTE="Chevy_52, post: 2477911, member: 106990"] As previously stated my first bullet choice is the Berger 200.20x followed by the Hornady 208 eld-m and the new Berger 208 target hybrid. My number one powder for the 308 heavies is Reloder 17. I live at 2300 ft above sea level and with 46.2 grains of R17 I get 2620 fps in a lapua case and OAL of 3.015. Using an EC tuner I get .5 MOA easily at 1000 yards. I have no affiliation with Erik Cortina but his tuner brakes just work. The above combo yields much greater velocity with much less wind drift and extends the hunting range of a 308 Win by about 200 yards. You can’t do that with Varget, it maybe more temp stable but the performance is no where near that of R17 for heavies. My .02 for what it’s worth. [/QUOTE]
