Isn't DP 68 for .223? seems a little fast for .308?
might give accurate arms a call for an equilivent.

The published data I have equates it to AAC 2015. Tried the loadings from start to max in my M1A using AAC 2015, work great. I'm thinking about buying 8# of the DP 68 if it performs the same as the AAC 2015.
Using 168 FMJBT in 1 fired G.I. cases. Win LR primer.
Thanks, guys, I'll contact Accurate.

I have found that 40 grs under the M80 ball bullet is right at GI spec. I did notice abit more "smoke" with this powder than usual, however it may have been the humitity level in the air that caused this.

Seems it works OK for you. Are you satisfied with it and is it actually close to 2015? I'm hesitant about buying 8# without testing it first.
