You might also take a look at Ramshot TAC. I don't personally use it, but I know folks who swear by it in the ar15-ar10 platforms which means it should work in the RR LAR-8 platform as well. You naturally would want to start with a starting load and work your way up. The thing here is you will want to load a slightly heavier bullet (165grain MIN I would think but I don't shoot 308) because of rate of twist, BUT you also want to be able to reliably cycle the action without doing slam damage to the internals. Most of the powders mentioned should fill the bill, but I suggest TAC because the folks I know of who use it say it is VERY clean burning, so you have less malarky to clean out of your action later on.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes!

Welcome to both Cap, and Matt.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
