It has been too long since I made it to the range. I am still waiting on my Grendel upper, so I took my 308 out. I just mounted my Nikon Monarch with a new picatiny rail. So I bore sighted and put the first shot within an inch of center at 50yds.
Then I moved to 100yds. I also was lucky to get a break in the wind and rain. I shot a few groups with some new loads along with my standby of 168gr A-Max over 43gr of Var get and Fed 210 @ 2.8" OAL. It is a bit slow at 2500fps, but it is accurate. I put 3 in 0.02" and 5 in 0.66" with a light weight barrel.
I met another shooter who recommended I try 175gr projos since my barrel is a 1in 11 twist. I will have to order some.
