Seems LR .308 shooters use Varget more than any other powder, at least from what I've seen on line.
I have all three, RL-15, Varget and TAC.
May have to try them all. Varget works so well in the .22-204 and it's so hard to find, I was sorta wanting to save my limited supply for that round. But, a few test .308 rounds may be interesting.
RL-15 is probably the one I'll be using mostly, as I have a good supply.

You flatter yourself.
Now when you are REALLY "trying" and doing your "best",what sort of platforms are you using as barometers of these "evaluation"?
Barrels,chambers,throats,twist,mounts,glass,etc.?
It will be funny!..............

It will be funny!.............. Last time out was at Huntsman22's place, shooting PD's at 550+ in a stiff wind. Didn't think it was notable enough to take videos of. I'd rather talk results than components. But if you're that concerned with what other guys shoot, it was a GAP non-typical, Bartlein 5R, lightweight Talleys, and a PM-II 10X. Go ahead an tell me how worthless it is, now that'll be funny. If not 100% predictable.

DF, try 46 grains of TAC and a 155, I'd be curious to see how it does in your rig, in mine it surpasses varget in velocity and accuracy. And varget is really good.

I asked YOU,in which of YOUR rifles...do YOU make YOUR determinations.
Curiously enough,great componetry allows for great results.(hint)
So when finding THE powder,it's at 550yds in stiff winds?
Looking forward to even more humor!..................

Thanks, smokepole.
Will do. I may just try that load and the 45 gr. RL-15 load. I don't want to use up my Varget. If it's as lackluster in the .308 as Stick says, no use to burn any.

Scenar, RL 17, and lots of magbox makes the 30-06 almost respectable. Scenar, TAC, and a decent magbox do the same for the .308. TAC works pretty well for me too with Lapua brass and 155s, but I just ran a series over the chrono maybe an hour ago using LCNM brass and could only get to 44gr @2873 before reaching pressure signs. of course it was ONLY 100+ degrees� With Lapua brass I have easily gotten to 2930 with 46gr at cooler temps.

I'm no Stick but here's my load RL15 45.0 Lapua brass Fed 210 155 Scenar 2870 fps 5 shots 400 yard steel (the imprint on the back tells the tale) My go-to load as well. Can easily get 2930ish with 46gr and no pressure signs but accuracy is better at 45. John

Seems to be a firm consensus on 45 gr. RL-15.

OEM rifles are gonna require more powder,to make like pressure of a Custom spout,due it's tighter chamber/throat and bore.
Never had a rifle not happily digest 45 and shoot more for sure,in some............
