[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3843971, member: 48072"] Reloader 15 and 4895 (both IMR and Hodgdon) are excellent .308 powders. Heck, I have a Savage 6.5 Creedmoor that shoots under 1/2" @ 100, and 1.5" @ 300 with IMR-4895 and the 120gr Nosler BT. If need be I'll produce target photos. Re-15 is one of my go-tos for a. 223 trainer rifle that is a little laser with the 69gr SMK. Again, I can provide target photos if so desired. The downside to Reloader 15 is that it is very temp sensitive again...so you'll really want to do load development and gather drop data in the same temp range that you'll be routinely using it in. IMR-4895 is a bit temp sensitive too, but not as bad. H4895 (if you can find it) is one of Hodgdon's extreme powders, which are all very temperature stable. Basically, if your .308 won't shoot Varget, Reloader 15, H4895, IMR-4895, or IMR-4064...its time for a new barrel. I managed to find one pound of Varget and 2lbs of H1000 today at the McAlester Walmart! Score me! [ATTACH type="full"]296769[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
