Looking to start doing some loading for this barrel, I will be using 150 grain bullets. My question is what powder will allow me to gain some of the velocity back I am loosing from the short barrel.

2nd vote for 3031 . I did a load workup years back with LMT 16" .308 . Was getting good performance and groups using it with the shorter barrel length.I'd start with 3031 & Benchmark

Varget?

Varget similar in burn rate/bulk as 4064. Both the 4895s somewhat faster, then comes the 3031 & Benchmark pairing. A bit faster yet is the 2015. The original 308 Gold Medal match load was 3031 with 168s, plus I swear 3031 runs slightly cooler, with less recoil.
