[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 693230, member: 29890"] Each powder company has a decent powder for the 308, Hodgdon Varget, H4895, and H380, Imr 4895, 4064, and 4320, Alliant Re15, AR-comp, and MR-2000pro, Accurate Arms and Ramshot AA2520, Tac, Enforcer. Vihtovori N140 and N540. Of all the powders Imr4064 is the best all around for velocity, deviation, and accuracy. RE15 is right there with it and actually gets the nod for higher velocity but its temp sensative. Varget is great I use just as much of this as I do 4064. I would try seating depth and different primers like CCI BR2s or Fed210Ms. It also sounds from your description of a 20" barrel and Houge stock that you have a M700 SPS tactical, if so its a 12 twist and sometimes does not take kindly to the 178 amax, they tend to do their best with 168 SMKs or amaxs.
