[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2213665, member: 8873"] 748 is a decent powder with lighter bullets in the .308. I would go with the 151 Absolute Hammer and be 100% confident. Absolutes appear to work better with faster that normal powders for a given bullet weight so you would be fine. Frank is right that it has a reputation as a very temp sensitive powder. However I would be more worried when building a load in cold and then using it in hot weather, not vice vera in your case. The worse that can happen is the cold powder temp will cause slower velocity and your drops will be more pronounced at 500 by a few inches. I would (and do) always check my rifles’ zero and extended range drops in or as close to the environment I’ll be hunting in. Good luck with your hunt! [/QUOTE]
