I like buying whatever they have and whatever will work in 308. I love experimenting with formulas.

In these times of shortages it does pay to have lots of formulas in the book!

I do have quite a bit of data, 2. Manuals and download tables for 3 powders and 1 bullet mfg

I reckon I may have to do just that

Those are good starting points but your rifle will tell you which formula it likes best, that is the critical book! :usa:

I have been studying up on the ladder method, I can load 5 of each load about 3 grains apart and then go enjoy

Did you mean .3? 3 grains is a bunch if your looking for the sweet spot. I went with .2 apart but I had lots of time then.

Good advice. Last winter I grabbed 7 lbs. of RL15. Haven't found any since.
