I have all three, RL-15, Varget and TAC. May have to try them all. Varget works so well in the .22-204 and it's so hard to find, I was sorta wanting to save my limited supply for that round. But, a few test .308 rounds may be interesting. RL-15 is probably the one I'll be using mostly, as I have a good supply. DF

Now when you are REALLY "trying" and doing your "best",what sort of platforms are you using as barometers of these "evaluation"? Barrels,chambers,throats,twist,mounts,glass,etc.? It will be funny!.............. Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'd rather talk results than components. But if you're that concerned with what other guys shoot, it was a GAP non-typical, Bartlein 5R, lightweight Talleys, and a PM-II 10X. Go ahead an tell me how worthless it is, now that'll be funny. If not 100% predictable. A wise man is frequently humbled.

Curiously enough,great componetry allows for great results.(hint) So when finding THE powder,it's at 550yds in stiff winds? Looking forward to even more humor!..................

Scenar, TAC, and a decent magbox do the same for the .308. TAC works pretty well for me too with Lapua brass and 155s, but I just ran a series over the chrono maybe an hour ago using LCNM brass and could only get to 44gr @2873 before reaching pressure signs. of course it was ONLY 100+ degrees� With Lapua brass I have easily gotten to 2930 with 46gr at cooler temps.

Never had a rifle not happily digest 45 and shoot more for sure,in some............ Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains.
