    45.1gr of 2208 is our clubs pet NRA load. Pretty hard to go wrong.

    I load for 2 different .308's (Browning Shorttrac & Ruger Hawkeye) both love the exact same load: 150gr Sierra Pro-hunter, 47.0gr AR2208, Rem brass, cc1 200 primers. It's not the fastest combo (especially with the Browning) but they both shoot under 1" at 100yds.
