N140 w/ 150gr bullets has been fantastic in my .308. Not the fastest, but I have yet to find anything more accurate. Sierras old accuracy load of 43.1gr is exactly where I have found the best accuracy in my rifle.
 
I've got a Savage MSR10 AR10 18" barrel. I'm running the 130gr TTSX. Running AA2520. At 93 degrees I'm at 3095 with SD at 3 and ES at 8. With a 2x12 Athlon, I can stack 10 rounds in under 1". At 41 degrees, velocity is at 2971 with opening up a little with SD's and ES but single digit SD's. Accuracy is the same.

I've NOT taken any game with it. BUT with AB app, I'm good for at Least 300 yards and can push to 400 yards depending on the game.
 
Accurate 2230 has been good for me in a 16” 308 if you want good velocity. I chose that as Barnes had it for their 110 and 130gr TTSX bullets.
 
If loading with a powder throw, I like BLc2 with the 155-175gr bullets. When using the charge master, H4895, AR Comp and VV N140 come into play.
