I have a Remington 700 in 308 with a 1 in 12 twist. I have a box of Sierra HPBT in both 168gr and 175gr and am looking for some recommendations on loads for it. I've read on here that some people really like Varget powder but I’m up for just about anything. I have used IMR in my 223 and get good results out of it. Any help you guys can give is greatly appreciated
