[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1675521, member: 109378"] Great caliber, might be one of those "if I only could have one rifle" kind of rigs. Try starting at about 41.5 grs of Varget, RL-15 and IMR-4895 powders (lotta good ones but those always work), Lapua brass, CCI BR-2 primers and 165 gr, NAB, Nos Part, Barnes-TTSX, Sierra game changer, Bergers. You'll find something in there that is a tack driver and kills stuff like lightening. Several rifles love that 43 grs RL-15 and a couple have loved 44 grs, Varget. Good luck. Come to think of it, I load for five different .308s and a couple of .243s (friends and family) and I have a .260, 3-7mm-08 but I don't own a .308....Whuuut? Hmmm, maybe I need one of those to complete the .308 based cartridges--I did just buy a second gun safe and after the big expansion move have room for 6 more firearms. [/QUOTE]
