Thread: Recipe for Howa 1500 .308

My main rifle is a howa 1500 in .308win for which I reload. I don't think there is any advice i would give that wouldn't apply to any other 308.

2206H is ideal, and probably the most versatile powder for 308. There might be some that meter better, but it is what I use.

In my howa, book max or half a grain below book max using 2206h has given very good accuracy with every 150gr or 165gr bullet I've tried.

Also I load close to the lands and still fit loaded cartridge into magazine. I've used Hornady SPs and SSTs and now using Nosler BTs. Serria 165gr HPBT didn't group as well as those others, probably just due to my specific barrel length and suppressor relationship rather than being a Howa.
