my 308 has a 19" , 3groove , 11twist benchmark barrel. Chamber is .343 neck / .070 freebore / saami body.

I shoot the 155.5 berger fullbore & 168 hybrid

brass is Lapua lrg pocket

IMR8208 is excellent in this barrel.

Id like opinions on H4895, IMR4166, IMR4895 & IMR4064

please no speculation !! real data in 16-20" 308win & bullets from 155-168

Thanks
 
16" AR ......IMR 4064 @ 42.0 gr. = 2388.......Fed.210m ,Horn. brass ,168 A Max ........my notes say it's on the edge of being a tad hot,for this June hotness. Meaning I keep ammo cool and shoot early mornings or late afternoon.
