Not much in it (c/w AR2208/Varget) but I've always used AR2206H (H4895) since they stopped making AR2206.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

You should also take a look at Varget.
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Two great choices would be RL15 and Varget.

In the coming days a 308 will be a nice one to have since it will run well on a wide variety of powders. Availability will become more of a factor.

I have not seen Varget around here for months! I did score 8lbs of Shooters World, Precision Rifle. That stuff with a 150 grain ballistic tip, shoots bugholes with my Kimber Montana!

I think Varget will become even harder to find than it is today.I have been using 4064 for probably 45 years and it still isn't broke. Anything that can stuffed in a .223 0r 5.56 will take some hunting to even find. Varget falls into that group

4064 is a really good 308 powder, but Varget sure is easier through my powder measures.

CFE223, H4895 my two Sako .308 rifles prefer those two to Varget. Haven't tried R15.

AR-Comp is my favorite, IMR4064 and Varget have worked well for me too.

My Savage 99 in 308 will shoot little ragged holes with 150 grain Winchester Power Points all day with Varget.

I've tried many bullets in several .308s, all in the 150 -180 grain range. If you can't get H4895, Varget is a very good second choice and so are IMR-4064 and Reloder 15.
