On our next 1K shoot this month, I will be entering my 308 for the first time. My bullet of choice will be the 155 grain Lapua Scenar. I had been playing with this bullet for a while now but never shot it beyond beyond 600 yards. With velocity approaching 3000 fps, I have no doubt it will do good. My load consist of 44.8 grains of Varget, Federal 210 Match Primer, on a Federal Gold Medal brass. Velocity average around 2965 fps. I'm surprised to achieved such a high velocity for such a low charge of Varget. Must be due to the 3 grove 12 twist Pac-Nor that I choose for my first 308 build.
Here's some groups shot with this rifle using the 155 grain Lapua Scenar.
5 shot group
