A good powder for 308 WIN using Horandy 150gr SST

[FLHTCUI]

A few of you mentioned CFE 223 and Win 748, those would be good option because I also reload 223 and would be nice to have one powder for both.

Having trouble finding either though.

You might try and locate some BL-C by hogdons powder....
No idea how it will work in 6.5 CM, but .223 and .308 it does impressive things.
bearhunter, your thoughts ?

I have had excellent results using win 748 for 308. I buy a ton of it for 223 so it worked out great.

Great in the .300 Savage as well and triple deuce.

Oh yeah? Do you recommend a starting charge?

No I don't. Stick to a manual that gives a range for your projectile and oal.

CFE223 and TAC are my favorite powders for loading bulk FMJ, which is all I really load for x51.

CFE223 with Hornady's is almost guaranteed sub-MOA if you do your part.

I'm also on the CFE223 train for .223, .308, and .35 Whelen.
