I’ll be using Varget, TAC and RL15.

Thanks

Some like mag primers with ball powder. But, the .308 charge isn't that big, so I'd try both for accuracy.

Now, if I had a bunch of WLRM, I'd be using them...

Have you tried Big Game? It seems to work well with mag primers and is a great powder.

Same. I used them with the 7-08 and W760 pushing 145 Speer BTSP bullets. Not sure magnum primers were needed but the Speer manual recommended them. It was a very accurate load if I remember. CCI 250’s BTW with that load. I use them in my 280 AI. I’ve read that when pushing loads of 60 grains of slower burning powder it helps. Never noticed a difference but like you., I have them so might as well use them.

Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
