I have tried varget , 4064 and reloader 15 in 155 bergers and 175 bergers all with federal 210m primers , winchester and norma brass. they are all very consistant.

For what purpose? Hunting or target shooting? You'll have to work up the load for your rifle. The .308 loves 165 grain hunting bullets or 155 grain Palma, 168 and 175 grain Matchkings with IMR4064 or Varget.
