Here is a list of powders I have used: imr4064,alliant reloader15, varget, blc-2. I use hornady,sierra,berger 168 grain bullets, I have never had great luck with 175's but have better luck with 180's and if you want lighter the 150-155.5 grain bullets work good.

I use vit 140 for both 168 and 600yd 175. I use vit 140 both 168 and 175. For a 1000yd I use imr 4895 or 4064 .

8208 xbr works real well in the 150-155 class, 4895 for 180s

trgtsnpr, you should seriously consider purchasing one or more loading manuals. There is a ton of loading info available for the 308.

My "most accurate load" is 37.3 grains Viht-135 behind A 168 SMK at 2.96 COAL. R-P brass, freshly annealed, WLR primer. That load MAY not work for your gun. I also load 4064, 4895,RL-15. What powder do you have? My load is a coaster, by the way.

If you are 600 Or less, hard to beat 155.5 berger fullbores in front of Varget. Works in every 308 barrel I've had.

My load and gun will be different than yours,so use your own work up. I have been using 39.8 grs. Accurate 4064, WLR primers, LC-07 brass ( around 178grs.) Hornady 178 gr. A-Max seated at 2.800" in my DPMS LR-308 with 24" heavy barrel to get 3 round groups of 1/4" at 100 yrds. 5 round groups of less than 1/2". All of the factory match that I have shot would only do around 1". Have fun working up your own.
