Does any one have a recommendation for a good powder for the 308 I recently picked up? Other than powder, I have everything I need to start developing loads, I bought some 130 grains Barnes TTSX, 150 grain Barnes (TSX),165 grain Barnes TTSX, and 165 grain Hornady CX. (Remember, all lead free for the great state of California). At least I found www.submoashooting.com where you can buy samples of 12 bullets instead of a box of 50 for load development. Thanks guys!

IMR 3031 is pretty good in mine That's what I used, and I got good results. I shot 110 grain spire, 130 grain hollow points and 150 grain spire.

I use H4895
works in 223 , 30-06 , 30-30 , 308 all reasonably well and for your gas guns doesn't make to much gas port pressure for service rifles
42.5gr under 180gr Speer BTSP avg mv 2625fps work up to that it is a half grain under book max
I do wish it was as easy to find as it used to be.

you need a friend in a country that can buy them , repackage and send to a country that will still ship to Russia , I hear Finland has some trade with Russia yet nothing is leaving the US headed for Russia directly. my wife ships farm implement parts to Russia , had 2 containers that left just days before the Ukraine thing kicked off it got turned around when it made it to the exit port and sent back

Hmmm, KOSOI - have you checked with your mail service for any restrictions on your end ? Then I would ask any of the reloading supply businesses, such as Midwayusa, Graff & Sons, etc. if it is not difficult to write me in PM. I have no possibility to start a dialog with you.
