    11 Trophy hunter


    Hey everyone I just bought .308 and was wanting to work up a good load for hunting. I have reloaded many different cals, but don't know were to start with this one. Any info would be great.
    Thanks all.

    There is a lot of data out there. 165's are choice in a 10 twist for 300 yards or more.

    I'd probably start with a 165gr Nosler Accubond bullet and Varget powder. I'm sure any hunting bullet in this weight range would be fine but I just prefer the Accubonds for hunting and have had very good luck with them.
    Powder availability seems to be iffy right now but I have seen Varget available and it's one of the better ones for .308.
    This combo should get you something I'm sure will do the trick with little effort.
    A good wife and a steady job has ruined many a great hunter.

    Any decent 150-165 grain bullet, I prefer Hornady or Nosler, and Varget will get you there. My Varget charge is 46 grains with either weight bullet. That is a top load, so work up accordingly.
