As the title states, I'm looking for alternatives to Varget for 308 loads using Winchester brass, CCI #200 (also have some #BR2 and some Fed 210M), and Lapua 155 Scenars.
As I'm sure you all are well aware, it's a real pain in the ass to get a hold of powder right now... especially Varget it seems. So I'm just looking for a handful of alternatives that I could use until this shitstorm blows over and it all goes back to normal (fingers crossed).
Anyways, It gets really hot here in AZ during the summer, and I'm moving to MN in a year where it gets really freaking cold during the winter. I'm looking for a temp. insensitive powder that'll work well with the 155's in a 308.
I got my hands on a pound of some VV n550 but at 44 bucks I've not been wanting to use any of it... I actually found three pounds each of H335 and H414 sitting in an ammo can that I completely forgot about. But I'd rather not use any of that if I can find something else.
I've been told H4895/IMR4895, BL-C(2), n550, IMR4064, and RL15 would be good ways to go. Are there any others that I should pick up if I come across them?
If it helps at all I'm shooting a Rem700 SPS-V with the factory 308 barrel.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!
My best,
