Powders for lighter bullets in .308

[Pathfinder2041]

Have a decent supply of Varget and Tac for 168 grain AMAX and 165 SGK out of my rifles.  For those rounds I am using Winchester brass and CCI BR primers.

I have not been too successful using either powder with 130 grain and under bullets with LC or Winchester brass.  I can get 1.5 MOA and under accuracy and consistency but want a better load for punching paper and varmits at 250-350 yards.  I have access to Benchmark, H322, CFE 223 in my bunker.  In your opinion, which one of these powders should I experiment with when I do my next load test with the lighter projectiles?  Is there another powder that I don't have that has better potential with lighter bullets?

the bullets in question are 130 grain SOST, Hornady 125 grain SST, and Barnes 110 grain TTSX (not the black tip, the blue one).  Rifle is a 308 AR 10 with 16" Balistic Advantage barrel.  Rifle currently prints 3/4" MOA with 168 grain FGMM and about the same with 165 grain AMAX and 165 SGK handloads.

My opinion ... I really like CFE223 ! I DONT like H322 because it burns too fast ! The "Benchmark" does not exist in my area ,so I have nothing to say about that product.

Follow Tom when you know stores are expecting a delivery of the Benchmark.  Or just hide in his fridge.

So Benchmark is the cats meow with light 308 Winchester projectiles???

Have you tested Tac or Varget with the lighter bullets ? There is plenty of loading data on them.

Benchmark and H335 should do very well with the light projos.  Some IMR 3031 as well.

I have tried load ladders with TAC and Varget.  I have not achieved repeatable results with the 130 grain SOSts or 125 SSTs.  My rifle is very finicky with light bullets with those powders.
