[QUOTE="jeb405, post: 2622836, member: 78163"] I don't disagree Hodgdon makes great powder, just a lot of it is unobtanium. As I recall H4895/IMR 4895 are considered best for these type guns but haven't seen either available in forever. Ramshot TAC however is available, similar speed as H4895 and as a ball powder meters like water. I have used this powder extensively in 308, 223 & 204 with great results. As mentioned above you want to stay around 7.62 NATO velocities not 308W. I did find a post indicating it was from Ramshot themselves related to an M1A suggestion for TAC and 165 bullets (would use same for 168) between 37.8grains (2275-2375Fps) and 42.0grains (2500-2600Fps). I think AA2495 also available and in same burn range but is a stick powder I don't have any experience with. I have read it can be temp sensitive. Oh, and last I checked TAC and AA2495 available at Powder Valley and Natchez. Good luck, I hope this helps. JB [/QUOTE]
