TR140 (cheaper than N140 and every bit as good).TJC wrote:I'm curious to hear what powder you guys are now using for your .308
Nosler CC 155 (cheaper and better than Sierra 2155).

Still using 168Gr Nosler Custom Competition bullets, thought of switching to 155s but as I only shoot at a max of 300yds and I have almost 3,000 168s decided not to bother!.
42gr of N140 works very nicely (1/2 MOA)
43gr of Lovex S062 same results and only £30/Kg

155gr SMK (2156), Lapua brass, either Vihtavuori N140 or Reload Swiss RS50 (aka TR140).
