That's the great thing about the .308 - plenty of bullet choices for reloading.

Not the Talley lightweights as far as I know. Leupold make a good steel Sako ring mount in three heights in 1" and two in 30mm.

Yep, always done it. And likewise, works sometimes. A lot of things have to be correct/true before seating projectile ie neck runout, consistant beck wall thickness. Don't then expect your seating...
