[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 1251945, member: 1007"] My opinion is 1:3 ratio is a good balance. 50 grains of powder and 150 grains of bullet such as the 308. 60 grains and 180 grains for the 30-06. 71-72 grains powder and 215 grains for the 300 WM. 250 grains of powder and 750 grains of bullet for the 50 BMG. All of these loads are easy to tune. It's not scientific or necessarily even worth arguing over but it seems like an approximate 1:3 ratio holds a good pattern even is it's slightly tilted one way or the other. That said, I've had plenty success pushing 180 grains of bullets with 90-100 grains of powder. The barrel (among other things) will help decide how accurate a rifle will be. [/QUOTE]
