yes, as I mentioned above Varget is a great powder for the 308. I also use it in my 222rem, 22-250 and 25-06 and get great accuracy. it will also work for many other calibers such as the 223.

while I prefer simplifying and having one or two powders for all my rifles it is best at first to try several kinds. that way you can see what your rifle/rifles like and then stock up on that powder.

buying #8 of powder that your rifle doesn't like isn't a great idea.
