[QUOTE="Benman73, post: 1990908, member: 79174"] I get the highest velocities with the most consistency with 150's out of my 16" 308 using H4895, and the highest velocities with heavies (210 grainers) using Reloder 17 out of my 26" 308 (single loading only with these). This is after testing at least a dozen powders for them over the years. 748 yields good velocity with 125's and 150's as well, and it meters nicely if you are just wanting to load quickly and go shooting. I have found very accurate loads with both powders in these rifles. I cannot speak to the temp instability because I generally do not shoot past April when temps start climbing above 70 degrees due to the high humidity around here, and it hardly ever drops much below freezing. For a general purpose powder, I do like Varget though. I also keep a stock of various powders on hand such as Reloder 15, BLC2, and Shooters World Prec. Rifle. They all work fairly well depending on the bullet in the 308. [/QUOTE]
