As the saying goes, 'if your .308 doesn't shoot well with IMR4895, then you have a rifle problem'. All of these are worth a try to see what works the best for your rifle; H4895, Varget, IMR3031, IMR4064, W748, and BLC2.

I've been using IMR-4064 because that is what was available....think I'll stick with it.
IMR-4064 worked wonders in the Parker Hale I once owned.
43 gens is the starting load for 150 grin bullets.
Iirc I only went up another grain and a half ...
2 inches at 100 yards was God enough for me back then.
IMR 4350,BLC was another option, but no idea what is available these days.

I have used IMR 4895 and IMR 3031 for years. Switched to RE15 but that has dried up and I'm now using Varget. I found that RE15, 43 gns with a sierra 150 seated just off the lands, gave me a 3/4" group at 200 meters! (probably a fluke cause I've never been able to repeat that!!)
