I've been very happy with Ramshot TAC powder as well. Meters so well, and yields consistent velocities.

There are so many great powders for the 308, it's an embarrassment of riches.

Its great to have options. I always started and ended with varget. One rifle would only shoot H414 well. Im interested in trying TAC.

TAC is really very good. Varget is my first stop with a new 308, TAC is the second. TAC will definitely give another 25fps+ over Varget too.

Yep, Varget is a no-brainer. For my .223 and 375 H&H too.

We quickly settled on Varget with 165 Accubonds. Wife hunts everything with it and it’s done well on several elk, mule deer and a bunch of antelope.

I tried Hornady 165 gmx and did ok but not spectacular. Next on my list is the 165 ab or 150 ttsx.
