Been doing a lot of range time trying to become better at shooting my Remington 700 PSS in 308. I have been using both Varget and RL-15 with some good success. I would however like to try other powders that may work well in my 308 cal with a 26" barrel. Heck, some of the fun of reloading is trying new powders, OAL's, bullets, etc seeing what may work the best for my set-up. I know many of you have a ton more experience then myself so what say.....what powder might I try next?:cheezy:

Old school. IMR4895 or H4895. NOTE: The two are NOT the same, so double check which one you have and what data you are using. Haven't tried the H4895 myself, but several oldtimers at the range like it.

4895 either one, if using H bump data down one grain from IMR data, accurate 2520 works great for heavys, BL-(C)2 is awesome, and so is bench mark.

Don't forget the old standby, 4064. Start at the bottom, and work your way up. You should see good results from the very beginning.
