    The ball powders will do it best - don't know if the AA powders are ball or stick. BLC2 is a good powder for duplicating 7.62x51 NATO loads (sounds like what you are doing).

    Try some Win 760. Touch faster than Varget, very accurate, and still a ball powder.

    AA 2460 is a good Ball powder and works well in .308 Win.

    +1 on W748 to meter the best. It might just work the best too.

    I had heard that H335 and W748 were the same. Don't know for sure and would not assume.

    They are close in burn rate but they aren't the same (like H48954 and IMR4895).
