3031 is about standard and common with lots of load data.

The great thing about the .308 Win is that it works with lots of different powders. I use IMR-4064. If you know anyone that reloads, see if you can borrow a few loads worth of different powders and use the one your rifle likes best.

Lots of Varget suggested here, me too. Temp friendly and seems to like lots of different bullet weights. Can be tough to find here, but I bought a few pounds 8 or 9 years ago for $28lb.

Started years ago with 3031.
Changed to H 380 with better results and book says lower pressures
Change to VARGET, more consistent with temp changes and lower pressures again
Then started throwing the BARNES 150 gr. TSX. Lower pressures yet, very accurate. Half grain under max and they are moving at 3000 fps. Amazing for the 308. No need to go heavier on the bullet. Penetration, bullet weigh retention and performance will amaze you.

Clean traps,tight lines,straight shooting
