Alright, so my FN Scar 17s is in jail for the next 10 days! I do not load for .308 yet and wanted some advise on some load possibilities. I currently have a lot of H380 and some BLC2 that I could use but prefer to try and find something with the H380 since I have the most of that. This load will only be used for plinking and the occasional 200 yards at a steel target. I will work up an accuracy load with other components. The primers I plan on using for this load are Sellier & Bellot because they are cheap. The bullet I'm leaning towards the Hornady 150gr FMJ's or RMR's 147 Grain FMJ Magtech M80. I've found a few different loads on google searches but wanted some of your guys' opinions. Thanks in advance!

Hodgdon doesn't list H380 on their reloading site for use with 308.
IOW, go there and select 308 Win, and H380 is not one of the powders to select.
EDIT: strangely Hodgdon lists the burn rate very close to BLC-2, and BLC-2 has a load for 308, but H380 doesn't.Last edited by liber; 12-11-2015, 2:40 PM.sigpic--------- liber --------

When I used it I got best results near the starting load. Nowadays I prefer 4064 though.---------------------
