Remington 700p 1:12 twist
Going with the 175gr SMK
I have some quality brass sitting around im going to use

What powder and primer should i be looking at?

Incase anyone cant tell im new to this. Going to use my cousins reloading setup but i need to bring the pieces and he will show me how to put it all together

 
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 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 ...
