I heard from a little birdie that bullet’s favorite powder in .308 is TAC. And, yes, around 42-ish grains.So 42 ish in 308 and make it count.....

I got varget, 4064, tac, 4895, or any go juice you prefer. Thse student stands ready.I heard from a little birdie that bullet’s favorite powder in .308 is TAC. And, yes, around 42-ish grains.
These are 180s not so common.44ish 4064 with 168gr Sierra HPBT Matchking's is not so bad for 308.
Actually I was hoping to learn a thing or two.I got varget, 4064, tac, 4895, or any go juice you prefer. Thse student stands ready.
This is kinda like saying “vehicles with big engines can drive faster,” then going out and buying a Peterbilt semi-tractor instead of a Corvette.
Short range benchrest has traditionally been dominated by flat base bullets because they offer long bearing surface, clean gas seal, high stability to initial pressure front, and great balance between center of gravity relative to center of pressure. But short range benchrest isn’t dominated by Hornady soft points and M1917’s.
Personally, I would have revisited why the rifle grouped “well,” (relatively speaking, I guess, in this instance) at 100yrds but did not group well at 200. That’s a huge red flag for me.
Well the bench was sold and my press is sitting in a crate looking sad at me every time I walk by. When I get to the new house I'll do a workup and post or send you my findings.Actually I was hoping to learn a thing or two.
I suggest starting at 40gr of TAC and keep going up in 1/2gr increments until you hit The Load or the pressure wall. If you run out of bullets let me know.
Cool! Thanks!Well the bench was sold and my press is sitting in a crate looking sad at me every time I walk by. When I get to the new house I'll do a workup and post or send you my findings.
