[QUOTE="Rob01, post: 2478018, member: 2157"] Depending on the rifle and firing pin hole sometimes SRP can be an issue and the bolt face needs to be bushing and can possibly need a new firing pin. Nothing wrong with SRP but just so the OP knows going in what could happen. On OCD brass prep, I have never been into it. Never turned a neck or weighed a case but still get very accurate ammo. Just need to use good brass and size it right in bumping the shoulder .001-002" and using a good neck tension in the .001-002" area. I use .002" myself in the .308 and other short actions. The H powders have good temp stability so if shooting in cold winters and warm summers they do well but others can work but you need to test them in both climates. That's why I like Varget because when I lived in CT and shot matches in southern TX I can work up a load in CT winter and shoot it in TX summer without issue. Lastly the 168-185grn bullet weight is a good all around .308 weight. Yes those who shoot F Class use the 200-208s and they are accurate but I like to have a flatter trajectory in my .308 for the matches I shoot. If just sending rounds out and trajectory means nothing to you then yeah try them with their higher BCs but for the case size I like the 168-185 weight. [/QUOTE]
