Love for the 308

[Beruisis]

I really like the 165 Sierra game king out of my rem 700 ADL made in 1971 with a 20” factory barrel on it.

That is the bullet I've always used in my 18.5" barrel 308. The HPBT.

Love .308. I built this last year. I had run out of Varget and was trying Norma 203b. I still have more work to do with it.

Win-748 is a great accurate powder for the 308win. I've used it as much as Varget,. however I use Varget for bolt rifles and 748 for semi-auto rifles.
4064 is another good option.
Hell... there must me at least 20+ powders that work great in the good ol 308win.

It is definitely a classic!

Always will have a 308 Win in the safe ready for hunting. My Favorite 165gr Hornady SP and 46.0 of Varget in WW brass with CCI BR2 primers in Bergara Ridge .

Another good 42.2 of IMR 4895 and 168 Barnes TSX in LC Brass.

45 years with the 308 Win and reloading tons of deer and caribou .

20" 308 Remington 700 SWFA 10X42, took a bigger whitetail deer and a 175lb boar this year with 180gr core lokt. My forever light weight hunting rifle.

30+ year love affair with the .308 here... I am responsible for the care & feeding of six rifles & one pistol chambered in .308. My Tikka "practical rifle" is probably my favorite rig.

I have had several and filled my freezer several times with different 308 rifles. Currently have a precision 20" bolt gun and a m1a. Keep thinking about building a bolt gun for my kids and putting an AR10 upper together for myself.

Definitely helps the county sheriff use 308s in their precision rifles and leave once fired federal gold metal match brass on the range I use.

The only love I have for a .308 is 1000 yard FTR and AR10.

Funny hearing the guys that started with a 308 then migrated to newer stuff then back to the 308. I am the opposite, I started witb a 270, always wondered why anyone would shoot a 308 when they can shoot an 06… then I found a really, really good deal on a 308. Varget works on a 308? Got some, how much? Looked in a nosler manual, the middle charge weight, well under max was listed as most accurate. So I loaded some and went out and shot it. First to the pistol rang to verify its on paper(new rifle, new boresighted scope) one shot hit dead center the 1” orange target dot, nice! Head to 100, a few shots to zero, then I headed to 200. I had only a handful of rounds fired, and hadnt shot a group yet so Ishot 3 rounds at 200 and low and behold they all went onto one hole at 200. It was not very hard to like the round and the rifle, everything was just easy with it. Every bullet I have ever tried has shot more than adequate for deer hunting for my needs with very little effort

The Nosler 125 gr. BT & AB are definitely not to be over-looked. Out to 400 yds. at least it is fast & flat. Deadly on deer sized game.

How many grains of RL15 for the 155 Scenars?

44.8 and they hammer Sako TRG pre 14 original barrel , over 4000 rounds

I guess I am the odd man out here. I have owned a couple and have never had any success with them. Maybe it was just my ability to shoot and tune a load, showing itself. As of now, I am 308less and don't plan on having another.
I have an old 700 Rem ADL in 270 upgraded to a 30-06 and that sucker will shoot.

Have a safe full of 308 Win rifles, both gas and stick shift, the rear lugged 308 M1 with an Obermeyer barrel built by the late Don McCoy is still my favorite. Never cleaned 600 with it, came close a few times. It still loves the old M852s.

I just bought a Sako GrIzzy Acktos model in 308. It’ll probably take a week or so before I get it. I have always admired this rifle but they are super hard to find. Its gently used and has some pretty good wood. I’ll post a picture or two when it shows up.
