308 Win

What would be a good powder to start with for the 165gr AB? Just picked up a sweet little T3 lite camo.

RL-15 and Varget have been the most consistent for me.

RL-15 and Varget work for me !!!
Also 168 gr. Nolser CC bullets.

Nosler 7th ed. Guide lists BL-C2 as the most accurate powder tested; I would imagine that should be a good powder to begin testing. Any of the powders with similar burn rates should give good performance for you--IMR4064, IMR4895, IMR3031, IMR4350 and as has already been suggested, RL15 and Varget. I've had good success with IMR8208XBR when using bullets of similar weight.

Varget is my first choice, second is a toss up for RL15 and 4064!

Norma 203-B works awesome in my .308 with 165-168s!
