Be careful, the design of the Absolute Hammer creates less pressure, you may hit pressure sooner with a Hammer Hunter. Start low and work up.
I'm using RL26 with 90g Absolute Hammers in my 25-06, it's amazing.
True!
There is still some reasonable priced powder around if we search. I have had a pretty good supply of powder and primers for years, but it doesn't hurt to add more. My shooting has not decreased at all in the last few years.

My condolences. May the Lord wrap His arms around you and your family and comfort you.
This brings back a flood of memories as I lost my Dad a few years ago.
Don't have a 308, but my adult son has a 6.5 cm Ruger American and I have a 243 Ruger American for a truck gun, both are very accurate for inexpensive rifles. I've never shot factory loads through mine, but my son's shot slow with factory ammo, so I worked up a load for him with 120g BT'S. Good...
