I didnt post the bullets weights I use for 243, 308, and 30-06. Again, I love IMR 4895, in the 243 I use 85gr HPBT bullets, 308 I use 168gr HPBT, and 30-06 I use 180gr HPBT. Come to think of it, yes IMR 4064 would probably work well too but as for me I like 4895. I may give Varget a try sometime as I've heard good about it as well as Reloader 19.
