This post reappeared yesterday as I was out at the range with two .308 rifles. I was comparing loads with Varget (I have a little left) and 4064. 5 shot groups were ho-hum, on the order of an inch and a half, adequate for deer hunting this fall.

I had some loads with 3031 that I was going to just practice with off-hand. I decided to try them at the bench with one rifle. 5 shots went into .7 inch, center to center. Hmmm,I thought, I had better try the other rifle. 5 shots went into .8 inches. 3031 just became my powder of choice.
