Thx Dodge and welcome!
Haven't used many Win powders yet, in fact haven't yet gotten to trying 296 for some mag loads. N-133 has always been a fave but gotta change cos of cost. Using up some 3031 in last batch and we'll see how they run.

Roll your own
I had a mini mauser mark X,that I set up for varmits and target shooting in .223.I tried all kinds of powders,bullets,primers,etc..Even got a micrometer bullet seating die.The most accurate and consistant load I found was with AA2230 powder and 55 gr. flat base Winchester soft points.

I second the Win 748 for .223. A very easy metering, spherical powder. A very good performer for accuracy loads in my 14" T/C.
You'll find the same ease of use with Win 296 - I use that for .44mag loads and Win 231 for 9mm loads. edited to add: I use Varget for the accuracy load in a .308. The extruded powders are a little tougher to meter. With the volume of power you are using in the larger cartridges (42gr in the case of the .308), the typical variation in powder weights from your thrower won't be that critical. Uniforming the flash hole in your cases will make more of an improvement in keeping the velocities consistant than keeping the powder charge weights within a half grain (or even more) of the desired charge weight.

Most spherical powders are far too temperature sensitive for accuracy applications.
Ramshot TAC seems to be the exception. On the contrary, extruded powders like Alliant Reloder 15, Hodgdon Varget, and IMR 4895 exhibit almost no temperature induced changes in burn rate and meter well enough to clean any NRA target with ease and high X counts. |

Had good luck with AA2230 & 55grain pills.
