Any .308 pet loads?

I'm looking for some .308 load suggestions for 150gr hunting type spitzers and also 168gr match bullets.

I've seen 39.5gr IMR-3031 with a 168gr MatchKing mentioned, I assume with at 2.80" COL.

Any other suggestions?

From the responses here and a bit of Google'ing, it seems one can not go wrong loading a .308 with 4064, Varget, 4895, 3031 or W-748

I'm surprised no one threw BL-C2 in that mix. (Not that it's much different than W748 in most applications).

It worked quite well in a M1A I had for a while, and was very good in a M700V with Sierra Match Kings.
