[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 2628049, member: 59526"] For projectiles I have personally had good luck with the 169 SMK. Honestly it’s cheaper than the berger 185 and the form factors probably aren’t that dissimilar. The best bullet for the 308 is probably the 180 grain elite Hunter since it has a higher BC and lower form factor than the 185’s and you should still be able to get good speed out of it. For powders I’d go for RL-15, Varget, IMR 4064, or H4895. These seem to be the most commonly successful powders though I prefer RL-15. If you want to chase the top end of 308 performance at the cost of stability you can try power pro 2000, RL-17, or CFE 223. When it comes to brass I have had really good luck with winchester given the price and I’m currently testing out Peterson. If you want to try SRP do some research and make sure your gun is compatible. Apparently mine is notorious for clearance around the FP and piercing SRP’s. [/QUOTE]
