308 load

Post by Jeremae »

I'm about to try and load some 308 ammo for my DPMS lr-308 (ar10 16 inch chrome moly barrel with 1 in 10 twist)

I would like to use the 165(8) grain boat tail bullets (I found a decent source).

What powder would you suggest?
Reasonable gun control is hitting your target with the first shot.

IMR 4895 is a good choice for .308 and that bullet weight.
