Thread: Alternative 308win powder

Greetings All,
As 30late said above 748 together with IMR 4064 and H4895 were the go to powders when I started loading the .308 in the mid 1970's. ADI2208 (Varget) was ADI's version of IMR4064 brought out in the mid 1980's. Recent test firings of AR2208 and Dupont IMR4064 showed the latter was a little faster. AR2206H (H4895) is my standard powder for the .306, .303 and .30-40 Krag these days.
For Sarvo of the powders mentioned above only 748 is made in the US. Primers are made elsewhere as well but the cyclic panic buying in the US seems to drain supply of most components when at its peak. Based on previous episodes supply should start to improve late in this year as it did for the last 3 election cycles.
