Why would you get flamed? The fellows on the forum use quite a variety of bullets.
Try a maximum charge of 46.5 grains of IMR4064 which should yield a velocity in the vicinity of 2825 fps in a 22 inch barrel (generated by QL). For a minimum charge, drop back ten percent. The current Barnes Manual does not list IMR4064, but the third edition listed 45 grains max (and 41 grains min) for the 150 grain XFB and 150 grain XBT. Best of luck and let us know how the loads work out.

I know it is not a Barnes, but a Hornady 150gr SST w/47gr of Varget gets me 2850. It is the only load I have found so far that really shoots excellent out of my wifes 308. Seems like Varget is an excellent powder for the 308 with most bullet weights. W748 is my second favorite. Sorry I drifted, just giving you some ideas. Scotty

Try 45 grain of Varget. IMR 4064 is good powder for 308 but Varget is better.

These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
