Who likes AA2520 in the .308?
I still shoot a significant amount of .308, mostly through Garands, but also through M1A rifles. I have a lot of AA2520 powder and would like to burn it up. I usually use 168gr bullets.

A buddy of mine (a Camp Perry veteran) calls AA2520 in the 308 "Camp Perry Powder".....

Problems with long range and 2520. Fine at 100 yards and 200 yards. Of course, the bullet is everything.

Great stuff for the 308. 39.5 AA2520 with 168 a tack driver at 100 - and reliably works the aciton of an M1A. No need to hammer your shoulder (42 gr. works very nice also). Cheaper than 4895 too. Have fun
