Re: What powder and primer does snipers hide recommend

Did you look in the .308 load section? Tons of info for you to look over.

i was unaware of a 308 section. Ill check it out
 
Re: What powder and primer does snipers hide recommend

Varget powder and CCI BR2 large rifle primers are a good start
 
Re: What powder and primer does snipers hide recommend

A skilled reloader can find an optimal charge weight of any reasonabble powder, given practically any high quality primer in practically any well prepared case using any match grade bullet.

I use Varget and CCI primers in 308 with 155 Scenars.

varget will be the choice, the primer will be between fgmm or cci primer...

varget for sure

Hornady 178 HPBT shoot just as good as 175 SMK bullets (in my rifle). Varget + CCI and federal good primers . I had one misfire out of 945 FGMM 210 ...
