Default IMR 3031

As NE450No2 and Jawfish said, 3031 is a fine .308 powder. I use 39.5 grains behind a Sierra 168 BTHP to get the same point of impact as the 168 BTHP Federal Gold Match round we use on my Sniper Element. I shoot this load through my FN PBR 18". Other members of my team are using custom built .308's based on Remington 700's (Tango 51) as well as Springfield M21's. The results we've seen are similar in all rifles. As you might guess, the brass is the once-fired Federal Gold Match from our duty rounds.
