Anyone loading these? I've got Varget and IMR 4895.

I haven't started loading any .308 yet, but I have been using the IMR 4895 in my .223 loads and I like using it. When I do start loading .308, I'll be using the 4895.

I have a real tight chambered 308 cut with a Palma reamer

I have been stubborn and tried to make it shoot 168's going back to the drawing board with it and lighter bullets maybe some N540

The 155 Palmas have a .504 BC compared the .505 of the 175's. If they work well, I should be able to push them faster than the 175's.
