Interesting that most have had good results with Varget and the 130 TTSX. In my rifle the group size doubled with Varget. Benchmark shot much better than I expected. Results were easily repeated.
I also was expecting to see more CFE233 loads as I've read it's the way to get more speed out of a 308. But also it's why I made the post asking. I didn't / don't know... thanks for the Benchmark info. Much appreciatedInteresting that most have had good results with Varget and the 130 TTSX. In my rifle the group size doubled with Varget.

I shoot cfe the most in my 308's with heavier 175 and 180's long range. But for lighter 125 and 130's H4895 works best for me.

My Ruger GS Scout and Armalite AR10 love the 130's. 47.5 grains Varget, Lapua brass and BR2's. The Scout puts 3 in .5 and the AR10 does .75. My go to load for all my 308's. My old HandiRifle even does 1". Obviously start low and work up to insure they're safe in your rifle.Picked up some of these to try; anyone have a load they could share? Thanks.
