| Do a search for blue dot loads. I've been pleasantly pleased with the accuracy and mild report of blue dot when downloading the .308.

| KS, While Blue Dot and other pistol powders can be used to good effect (I generally use and like the milsurp version of AA #9 in my rifles.), Accurate Arms' 5744 is designed to perform well with reduced loads...and it does. |

| KSTEPHENS: IMR's SR4759 works great as a reduced load propellent in all of the .308 based calibers. Start with 21.0 grains for that Barnes bullet and expect pleasant shooting with excellent accuracy. SR4759 has rapidly become one of my favorite powders.
Thanks, Dad, for taking me into the Great Outdoors.
