IMR 4064. Excellent powder for 308 at least.~Muir
 
or ramshot tac iam in the same boat my 125grn nosler load using h4895 was a one holer at 100yrds and 1/2 inch at 200 just hoping the tac does the same showing a better fps tho but that aint everything
 
Thanks all I use 125grain for.308 and .87grain for .243 both group very well so would like a powder that could do the same more research into availabilaty of ramshot tac. I think plus N140 loads. Martin
 
I used H4895 when I first got my .308 and it worked for all bullets.
I changed to Vhit powders when I finished the tub of H4895.

I use N133 with 125 grn Sierra pro hunters in my .308.
I tested the same bullet against N130, N133 and N140 and they grouped best with N133.
Running the load through QL it estimates that the N133 is fully burnt before the bullet leaves the barrel.

I use N140 for 150grn or higher and can't fault it.

Apologies if I am telling you something you already know. The Ramshot Importer is only up the Road from you in Pudsey. Henry Kranks. Ramshot TAC was excellent in my .308 when I had one. Can't comment about .243 though.

big game for the 308, tac will do and its a tad faster than varget and with a lower amount of powder to get there .
