[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3449023, member: 15054"] If you have BL-C(2) powder and the 150 gr try 45 gr of that powder. Works best with a flat base bullet. It is a nice node there though. I found many bullets with a short bearing surface like the sierra 155 match king palma will not shoot well until you speed them way up. Very top of the load chart or a tick past the load chart in some manuals. That bullet did not expand in critters either, just penciled right through. I shot that 155 in 30-06 at 3176 fps and it still would pencil through a deer. 155 A-max or 168 A-Max would anchor them. 178 gr A-max will take out both shoulders way too much meat damage. Shoot neck and much less lost meat I have not shot the match kings at a critter. Other than the 155 My powder choice now is IMR 4064 then 8208 XBR then Varget. RL15 and BL-C(2) work very well also. I really like the BL-C(2) and flat base 150 gr at 50-100 yard for tree rats. So stupid accurate in both of the 308 rifles I shot them in. Easy head shots. [/QUOTE]
