I ran out of Federal Gold Match 308s. I never loaded match ammo, just hunting one, so for me the temp sensitivity and velocity were - not more important, but sensible higher in my options than ultimate precision.

I know they use special powders, but what comes close to it?
Some recipes are wellcome, if you have some. If they are secret, and PM me, I'll try them not publish them.
Thank you.

The new Reloader 15 is pretty temperature sensitive. It works well under either the 168 or 175 SMK in the .308.

ball c2, 43 grains of it under a 168 MK, almost identical performance to the GMM
 
Thank you.
So far BlC-2-.... 43grains

Do you have any recipe for the others? I'd like to try them all.
Varget....

I use 44,5 gr of Varget in Norma case.
Primer are Federal 210M
Bullet are Nosler competition 155 gr
 
I'd try something like 44.5 to 45.5 grains of Varget with a 168 Sierra, ignited by a Federal 210M to come close to the factory load.

Another classic choice would be something like 41.5 to 42.5 grains of IMR4895.

I don't use 168s however. Palma rules require the use of 155s, and the 155 is a superior bullet all the way out to 1,000 yards.
