Around 40 grains of 4895 with a 150 is mild but consistent. Around 35 of Reloader 7 is also very good. Varget works but I have always gotten better accuracy at low pressure levels with 4895. With around 40 grains and a Sierra MK, if it doesn't shoot, there is something wrong with the rifle. I once shot a 308 Light Varmint rifle and this was the load I used. Best aggregate, for five 5 shot groups, was around .260. Best group was .108". The same load, but with 168's, was a little hotter and still shot well. This was my 300 meter load. GD
