We used to use HR3031 I think for my ex's gun.  I think I still have some powder around if you are interested in trying it.

Thanks for the offer Lokidog.....I just bought 8 lbs of Varget so if it works as well as people say I think I will be good.  If not the 4064 will be my next option.  Thanks again though  :tup:

My 165gr .308Win loads use 43 grains of Norma 202 (similar burn rate to H335).  Running them through a 22" factory Winchester barrel.  Not sure the speed, but they sure group great!  I'd like to try some 748 one of these days.  Just can never find any in stock when I'm looking.

Here is the burn rate chart I reference most -

I had a hell of a time with Varget in my Rem 788 308win. I did find RL15 to fill that void  :tup:

I've had great luck with IMR4064, RL15, and BLC(2) in my 308.  The 4064 loads seem to be the most consistently accurate but the RL15 loads provide more velocity and still are plenty accurate.  Good luck!
