mathman,
thank you for your post. Just for reference I looked at Nosler's website, they're using 24" Lilja barrel with 1:10 twist, for 165gr bullets with Varget max charge of 46 grain giving 2820 fps, with an asterik next to Varget's load of 44 gr for 2758fps.
Jpro, wow! 165gr at 2800fps from 20" barrel! impressive. I see from Nosler's website that RL15 gives top velocity, but heard it's temperature sensitive thus Varget is a little better in that regards.
Rifle powders on hand are H4895 and Varget. Those two powders should work in both my 223rem and 308win. For logistics sake, I tried to keep powders that can be used in both cartridges. At least my viewpoint that I'm using a newbie. Also helps keep my cost down by being able to use powders in both cartridges.
Appreciate both of your help.
