AR2208 (Varget) is the best all round powder for .308 bar none.

AR2208 is a fine powder with 165/180gr bullets but many reloader's have found (myself included) AR2206H to be a better choice with the lighter 125/150gr bullets in shorter barrelled .308 rifles. Higher velocities for similar pressure and less muzzle flash. Fired thousands of rounds with both powders; the downside of living two minuets drive from a very good range.
