Re: Good Powder Choice for 308 Winchester in Semi-Auto

not that you have any on hand, when i loaded for a M1A1 in the mid 80's I used IMR 4064 (45 gr) in LC 81 cases with a CCI 250 using a 150 spire point that kept me around 49000 cup (according tp data taken from a lyman manual #45) so with similar burn rates Varget sounds like a good place to start

Re: Quagmire

Why not build what you want instead? Buy a Savage action from Jim at Northlander Shooters Supply.....buy an aftermarket barrel that is prethreaded/chambered, buy the stock that YOU like....assemble it...and be done. You can have a truly custom rifle for less than a grand....closer to 650 if you wat...
