winchester 760 powder

How good is this powder for precision shooting. .308 out to 500 yards what grain bullet would be suited for this powder

in general you will do better with a stick powder - ball powder excels for velocity and convenience

so it would do fine for ar-10 non precision type rifles.

Youll want a heavy bullet and a really long tube. Its a bit slow for 308.

No, W-760 is not suited for a 308 gas gun. It is too slow for a rifle that does not have an adjustable gas block. It's a bit too slow even for a bolt gun, but it can be used.

This is true ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. W-760 works great in 30/06, 270 Winchester and many other cartridges that use powders that are in the slower burning rates. W-760 is close to the burning speed of IMR 4350. I have used it in the 308 Winchester. You need a lot of powder, a long tube and it just doesn't get up to the speeds of other, better suited powders for the 308 Winchester.

748 works better in the gas guns or bolt guns.
