Hornady Manual would be my 1st choice. JP

I use the 165gr interbond in my wife's 308 and I use a half a grain shy of a full charge of Varget. I don't remember the exact amount, but a hodgdon website visit will help.

She can get MOA no problem with that load using Federal match primers and lapua cases.

44-45 grains of IMR4064 has worked for me with the 165 grain Hornady BTSP for 27 years now in three different 308s.

A max charge of varget under the 165sst in R+P brass and WLR primers shoots great in a 700 LVSF 308 I load for. Very low SD and sub moa. 2700 fps avg

Good Luck

Hello

I had luck with 43.4 grs of N-140. With Lapua brass and CCI BR primers shoots like a match load.
