Alliant PowerPro 2000-MR and Winchester 748 are two of the better powders to use with 130- 165gn bullets in a 308.

I read that Pwr Pro 2000 MR and CFE-223 are the same powder.

No
2000 is not the same as CFE 223
Made in 2 different countries

CFE 223 works very good with 308 Win and 168gr with very good Vel in 20"
A very high energy powder reaches pressure real quick.
Slower burning than Varget

Western data shows 42 to 45 grains of TAC giving 2600 to 2760 fps with the 168 Hornady moly HPBT and a 168 Sierra HPBT. Might be worth trying if you can find some.

CFE223 is great as are 4064, Varget, and Re 15. I would not even mess with Re 16.
