I start about .010" to .015" off the lands for cup and core bullets, if they will fit the magazine and cycle n the action. Other than that,l 165gr is a good choice for the .308win, but some rifles prefer certain bullets, and don't like others. And some rifles are more fussy than others as far as bullet weight/powder selection. I have found a great load with the first bullet/powder combination, and I have had situations where I tried five or six combinations before I found one that the rifle liked. How does the rifle shoot with factory loads?
