I would start with Varget. Somewhere between 44.5 and 46.0 grains should land you in a sweet spot. RL 15 is also very popular and for good reason. At one time 2520 was widely used by the bench rest crowd in .308, but I have found too much lot to lot variation. Hopefully now that Western Powders has taken over the Accurate line, the will have better consistency.

I love the Plain Jane Hornady bullets in .308 and .30-06. I prefer the 150s for deer in .3008 and prefer the 165s in the '06. My brother preferred the 165s in his .308. He said the did not ruin as much meat as the 150s.
