I just got two lbs of Hogdon Benchmark rifle powder. Is this good powder to reload 308 with?

Hodgdon lists quite a few loads. It might not be optimal, but it'll work.

check your IMs.  I sent you some of my load data.



Benchmark produced several sub-.5 MOA 10 shot groups with my rifle, but I couldn't reach the 2550 FPS required for any real distance and maintain any semblance of accuracy.  In a pinch, it'll work, but it probably won't get you beyond 600 yds without loading above published max charges.
