Which powder would be better for the .308?

[Rifleshooter308]

I have used Varget, RE15, XBR8028, TAC, 4064, Benchmark, 4895 and BL-C2 with good success. My go to's with the 175g SMK are usually Varget and RE15 at 44.5g in Lapua or LC brass. They chrono 2600 out of my 20" Savage varmint contour barrel. I recently worked up a load with Alliants Power Pro 200MR starting at 44g and working up to 47g. The accuracy was .30 at 45.5 at 2580 and a low SD of 7. It was still shooting sub MOA at 47 at 2750 with an SD of 12. Good fast powder that is not supposed to be temp sensitive. Meters like dust. It's also awesome in the other calibers I load, 22-250 and .223.

Thanks for sharing Rifleshooter308, the Reloder 15 has been dumping right on the money for me lately and it really speeds up the reloading process using my new electronic scale. It's much more enjoyable to reload 50 rounds for a match now that I can have prepped brass prime with hand primer 10 min. dump and weigh all 50 charges and seat the bullets within .001" at orgive in under 40 minutes.
