1:10 twist should be fine for 175gr. bullet.

Check this link out for load data for .308.

If it was me... I would go with Varget for 308 and a 175. Then XBR then N140, and not even bother with the rest. What rifle is it?

Them your good to go with Varget. An don't worry about the semis are different with an AR10 type, that's for M1a's and garands. I shoot 45.0 Varget with a 175 or 185 (185 loaded long for single feed) with no issues. Use mag primers, start at 43.0 and go up until you get accuracy, or a case swipe, when you get the swipe, start going back down until you hit accuracy again. Also a 175 VLD might not be the best choice for running through a mag. They will jump, and don't have to be jammed into the rifling, Berger website talks about how to find where it can jump. You might get lucky, might not.
