[QUOTE="Johnboy, post: 369217, member: 20409"] one thing to look at is this.you have a 60-65gn difference in bullet weight.pushing the heavier bullet takes more pressure to do so.and you want get that much if any accuracy if loaded with 4831.I am not saying by no means that one cannot use 4831.its just to slow of a burning powder to lite up a 165gn bullet with good results. and I just looked at hodgdons web site and they do not post 4831 for the 308 in any type of bullet weight.but you can use the R17 for the 208gn A-max or a 210gn smk or berger bt.thtas if you do not mind the recoil.me and a friend are useing 47-48gn of R17 to get about 2700fps with one of the two bullets.but I wouls suggest to start up with about 43-44gn.then you can work up for it.and they fly really good for use.just depends on your barrel length to how much you need to start with.another guy is shooting them out of a 20 inch barrel with 46 -47gn with a 208gn A-max getting about 2600fps. but hey this is something that I would do and my opinion.so take it with a grain of salt.
