[QUOTE="bja105, post: 1205283, member: 22557"] Varget has been used by a lot of shooters with good luck. My 308 shoots well with Varget and Hornady 165. Tac is another popular powder, I used it with Hornady 150's. Both Tac and Varget meter well through a powder measure. 308 is easy to load for. Just don't jump straight to maximum loads, in any rifle. Trying someone on the internet's exact recipe can get you way over pressure in your specific rifle. I know, I tried it! Sometimes , someones quoted powder charge was several full grains too hot in my rifle. You probably new that already, but someone reading this might not have, and could get into trouble. Rifle reloading is not like shotgun, where any published load is safe in any modern shotgun. Rifle loading has a range of loads that were tested in a certain rifle, not yours. Start loads are the place to start, not maximum. [/QUOTE]
