Another vote for IMR 4895.

I have never tried 4895 but I sure hear a lot of people that like it. In my 308's I found IMR4064, IMR3031, H335 and BLC/2 to work great on bullets up 180gr. Never got any heavier bullet to shot well reguardless of powder used.

I've been using 44.0 grains of Varget with 168 Hornady BTHPs, BR2s, W-W Brass. Out of a Remington 700 with a 20" 1:10 barrel, I'm getting 2595 fps and 1/4 MOA. Honestly, the first load I put together for .308, so I don't have much to compare it with and given how well it's working, I may never have the need to.

That's not hard to believe. My last 308, a mod 660 Rem, really didn't cae much what I fed it so long as the bullet's were between 165 and 180 grs. 308's just seem to like to shoot!
