I use N140 for my Garand in .308. Works well. With a 147 grs FMJBT I have good accuracy, good primers (no overpressure) and perfect cycling.
Normally I prefer Lovex S060-2 because it works as well and costs 40% less. But N140 is absolutely ok for me.

I too use N140 for my Garand (30-06). I've been using that for around 20 years and it works well with a 168 grn HPBT. I recently replaced the op rod spring and carried out the tip test at the same time. Passed no problems, so 20 years of N140 do not appear to have had a negative affect on the op rod.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
