Hello, I am new to the forum here. Thanks for including me.
I have experience loading only pistol rounds and am just starting on loads for my first scoped rifle- a Savage 12 chambered in .308 Win, 26" barrel and 1:10 twist. I do not cast my own bullets yet but I have picked out a cast bullet to use from Missouri Bullet company, that being their "White Tail #4" -- .311" -- 165 grain RNFP -- Brin 18. I want to try shooting out to 300 meters with this bullet. Could anyone give me their thoughts on a slow powder that would keep velocities low enough for cast lead but also adequately fill the case? With so many powder options and my lack of experience with this caliber I am reaching a point where I need some advice. Much thanks.
