All of the above would be well handled by the 208 Amax and RL-17, RL-22, H4831sc or H4350

The powders are listed in order of preference from top to bottom. RL-17 and -22 are very close, H4831sc and H4350 are both fantastic for accuracy but lack some in the velocity department.

Dammit Bohem! Would you stop that! I used to tell everyone how great the 208's were out of just about anything .30 cal. Now I can't find the damn things.

ETA: 208's in anything but a 300WM have been proven to cause blindness.

Fair enough... I'm having the same problem as well, I currently have 500 backordered from Grafs...

That last line is hilarious, here I've been thinking the hair on my palms and failing eyesight was from something else.
