I guess your talking about 308 caliber,if so probably can't go wrong with IMR4895 or Varget.

 

[strokin99]

Varget is another good one

Seems like you have some good advice!

Varget or RL15

All powders listed are superb. I'm testing Hodgdons CFE223, will give a range report after this weekend.

I'll throw W748 out there too. It meters like water and has turned in some impressive results in .223 and .308 for me.

As already posted Varget, RL15, and IMR4895 are all old standards for many.
