Your favorite .308 load

[GlockCop]

Being new to the .308 I was wanting your proven loads for .308. Specifically for bolt action long range(500-800 yards) and in the 150-168 weight range. Also include your OAL and best primer. I was thinking H4895 powder to start but want your experiences as to what works best.

46-47gr Varget under a Lapua 155gr scenar lit by CCI br-2 primer always did well for me.

Work it up in your rifle though.

45 grains of Varget with a 168 grain SMK works very well.
I use Winchester Brass with a CCI 200 LR primer.

Hey GC
I love my old competation load. It is the same as the military M-852. LC Brass (weighted out), Fed 210MG primers, 45 grs of IMR 4895 or 4064. OAL is 20/1000s off the lands. Best twist is 11.5 to 1. 22 inchs long barrel. If you need some brass, let me know.
That is with 168 gr SMK

+1 on Varget or IMR4895 in your .308.

I like 4895. Don't have specifics readily available.
