RL-15 is also a favorite of mine in the 308, but I have only loaded for two rifles chambered for such. Again, very nice job!

Great job on the loads and some fine shooting. It is perfectly all right to brag a little when there is something to brag about. We're all shooters around here, and we understand the pride of craft that inhabits the heart of the serious handloader.

:lol: Been in that spot a few times and blown the shot more than making it.
