RE: Best Load for .308W ?
I prefere the 150 gr bullets myself, and i use 50 gr. ww748 to give me 3000 fps, it shoots flat enough for anything here in the north east, and has enough energy to do its job. (about 3000 ft lbs at muzzle) and drops about 7 inches at 300 yds when sited in 0 at 200.
That load gives me MOA groups from my Model 7 and BLR. It seems to work well with Sierra, Hornady, and Nosler bullets....good luck with your new rifle..
