I have had very good results with 150gr Speer SPBT, Hornady SPBT and Nolser Ballistic Tips over 45gr Varget, CCI 200 or BR2 primers, Federal brass (apparently junk according to the interwebz?) and seated to 2.8". All shot extremely well out of a Howa heavy barrel and Savage Mod 11. They shoot OK out of my Ruger Scout but it seems to like longer bullets.

150gr Barnes TTSX over 45 gr Varget, 2.8" OAL, CCI 200 or BR2 primer in Winchester brass (more case volume than Fed which helps with the longer monometal bullets) alos shoots well for me. I put a very light Lee factory crimp on these.

In my limited experience with Accubonds (not in .308) they are very user friendly and not particularly sensitive to seating depth, well not as sensitive as some other bullets.
