Surprised no one mentioned Win.-748. Meters as well as it shoots 168-175 gr. SMK's. Getting 1/4 and smaller @ 100 yds. Rem. 700 Varmit barrel 24". .........SEMPER FI!
Powder for the 308 ?

Let me guess, 42.2 gr. IMR-4064? Shoots good from mine. ..........SEMPER FI!

I think that IMR-4064 would serve you well. With a 150 gr.-175 gr. bullet you could get good Vel. numbers out of a 30" BBL. Good luck and good hunting/shooting. ......SEMPER FI!

hi its nick, yes there are many powders out there, i only use the viht powder as my shooting mate and rifle club usually recommend certain all rounder powders i notice viht 540 is a double base ? i think this is the fraze , this powder is more involved in wearing the barrel out.
If this is wrong then please correct me, i just cannot remember the correct wording.lightbulb
as to bullet weight at the time i was advised to try scenar 155 heads, i have fired over 2000 from my rifle i am happy with the results. @ 100 yards i can on a good day
make cluster leaf groupings.
