Which 308win mold is right for me?

I guess it depends on what you want at 300 yards. 2-3 MOA should be possible without too much headache. We wait for calm days before trying as the wind works on lower velocity cast loads quite a bit. Somebody to spot hits really helps work out elevation.

See if you can find some Alliant 2400 locally, it would be my first choice. Alliant Unique or Herco might be my second choice. Alliant powders seemed to be the slowest to come back in stock. Maybe someone can suggest some Hodgdon powers?

Add your general location to your profile. Might be a member close by that can help out.

Thank you for the powder suggestion. I will see what I can find locally. As for accuracy at 300 yards, I'd like to be able to hit a silhouette at that distance, so 2-3moa would be sufficient. Again, most of my shooting will be between 100-200 yards.


Thank you all for the help! I've read all your replies and have been chewing on the info. Since several of you recommended trying it, I went ahead and ordered the 180gr Lee mould. We shall see how it goes. I live in MI, so weather is a bit chilly right now (although it has been a mild winter so far). I do my casting in the garage with both doors open and a fan going, so I will likely wait until we get some warmer weather to begin casting again. I do have about 600 rounds of 9mm cast that I can work on powder coating in the mean time.

Again thank you all for the kind assistance. I've been exploring the forum a little more now that I've joined and there is a wealth of information here to digest!
