So I just got a good supply of 150gr Partitions and Accubonds and plan on trying to find a good load for them. I have a pretty good selection of powders to try in the usual flavors. But where should I start?
I have Varget but have never seemed to find it very accurate anything that I tried it in.
I do have
IMR4064
RL15
RL17
IMR4895
3031
BLC2
And probably a few others
These are going to be for hunting whitetails and hogs velocity in the 2700+ range is preferred and I'll be satisfied with 1" or better groups.

No I haven't even look at my load data books, but these are powders I know should work well in the 308

TAC works very good with 150 gr bullets in the 308.

Of those you listed, I would try R15 or BLc2. R17 is too slow for light bullets in 308.

Go with the 4895 and accubonds. 3031 is underrated as a powder. Save that 4064 till you get a .35 Whelen you'll thank me then.


Only hits count.

Rl15 is definitely top choice for 308 then 4064 and 4895.but your gun and bullet choice will dictate which if those shoot best.If I could only have one rifle powder it would be rl15 it's not temp sensitive at all compared to alot if powders.rl15 will get a 150gr bullet going pretty damn fast only thing faster would be a newer powder like cfe223 which is great also.All 3 are great for 308 I'd make a 6-9 round batch of each and find out.good luck.

I got better velocity with Varget than I did with RL15, but that was with 165 grain Partitions and Accubonds.


83% of all statistics are made up.

I load 46.2 of Varget behind a 150 NBT. 46.5 was accurate and fast, but I was getting flattened primers and short brass life. Varget is my go to powder in 22-250, 308, and 300 WSM unless I am loading 270/280/30-06 then it's IMR4350.

Big 4895 fan here. I used it when Varget got scarce.

150 Accubond, 46 grains Varget produces tiny groups in my .308.

For a 308 in the 150-165 bullet range, I suggest you try IMR-4064 and RL-15

I like TAC for light for caliber bullets in a 308
