RL-15 if you have it.
Or Varget or N140
CFE-223 is great in mine.

Mind sharing your recipes too? Have Lapua brass and some CCI large rifle primers. What is your starting loads and what kind of velocity do you see? I'm aiming for something around 2900+ fps with this bullet in a 308. I have been told I should be able to expect 3000 fps with the 152 grain hammers in a 308 which seems fast but it also seems that most loading the Hammer bullets see around 200 FPS faster then other bullets
im at 3040, with lapua brass. ill have to check the rest.
Just my 2 pennies worth The 124g HH is the "One" in 30 Cal
I have a BOX of HH in 152g

What kind of velocity are you getting with the 124g? I would imagine those flying faster then 3200fps but IDK
Your in the ball park

So I have (2) loads with 152 HH not for a 308, but in 300 Weatherby...
77.5g IMR 4350 averaging 3210 fps
85.5g H1000 averaging 3090 fps
These produce the best results. I have tried a number of other powders.

He shooting a 308 not a mag remember. He looking for loads for that. I would suggest looking at reloading manuals for info that's. Sierra has data on 125gr bullets, but that's not Hammer bullets. You may be able go direct to Hammer too. They a good group of people.

Thanks guys. Can I sort of copy load data for Sierra bullets? I haven't had time to call Hammer yet for their load data but it seems they are semi specific on powders and with the lack of different powders available right now I was just trying to get an idea of what loads and powders most of you guys use.
Sorry I don't load for 308.
