Got out to do a little shooting on a beautiful day. Here's the best group.

 

[Larry in SD]

Looks good. Was that with a 168gr. Hornady? and what Powder?

My Remington Model 700 SPS (20" Sporter Weight Barrel) .308 isn't printing groups quite that tight yet. I tested my first series of test loads on Tuesday and I have the second batch of test rounds loaded up. I am working with Varget Powder, Winchester Brass, CCI-BR2 Primers with 150gr. & 165gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips. Hopefully on Sunday I can get to the range.

Those were off the shelf store bought Hornady BTHP Match rounds.

thats good shooting considering the winds

was the wind constant ?

and one other thing what rifle you running ?

 

[Doug308]

The wind is sort of a non factor at my range becuase of 25 foot berms on either side of the shooting lanes. The rifle is a 700 with cheap glass, a brake, B&C A2 stock and heavy barrel. Older model. Was called a VS (varmint Synthetic at the time).

I only get to shoot out to about 400 at the most. The rifle will do sub MOA. Sometimes I can do it too.

well sub MOA for these remys is no issue great rifle though
