Have not looked at any new propellants in the last 5yrs. Even though I have found many others successful, I have found Varget to be my best all around powder in the .308 (and variants). Is there anything new out there I should think about that are as good with temperature insensitivity and metering before I purchase the next batch?

There is no better line of powders for consistency in all weather. It's made in Finland where they have a little bit of experience with temperature extremes. If you look at the euipment/component list in the match results section of PS magazine, you see it listed more often than not after the names of the top shooters.

You know I have been bouncing around this forum looking at the same thing with out asking the direct question. I merely have been asking what everyone likes.
I agree on Varget I use it in my 30-06 and mostly in my 6.5X55. I am now trying out H110 for my M1 Carbine. If you look at the threads in reloading called:
My favorite new powder - Hybrid V100
Most versatile Powder in your opinion?
Accurate arms powders.
HODGTON AND IMR POWDERS

These should help get started, they are on the first 2 pages of the reloading thread. There are more but this is a good start. The 2 last ones listed should be the most help.
Good Luck!

amamnn,

Where do you buy your powder (I assume it is lapua)?

Deke.

Most large reloading suppliers handle VihtaVuori powders. 308 based cartridges do well with N135, N140, and N540.
Hope this helps
