    load development

    When chronographing for .308 ncrements are your powdercharges from one group to the next. 1/2 grain? 2/10ths of grain?

    Tackdriving AR10 Load at Max.

    Good .308 Ball load

    I have a bunch of surplus .308 brass and 147gr bullets I'd like to use for a decent ball load. What spherical powder will give me good results? This ammo will be for a scoped FAL. I'd like it to be able to maintain "minute of man" to about 500-600 yards. I'll be using WLR primers.

    Rifle Scopes NF Benchrest 12-42x56mm for Load Development & BR

    Hey Guys! I was thinking of getting a 'really' high-powered scope (35+) for doing load development and possibly some benchrest competition in the future (still need a BR rifle), and was looking at the NighForce 12-42x56mm Benchrest model. It looks like a nice range of magnification and while I...

    Copycat load of Hornady .223 REM 75gr. BTHP Match

    Bought a few boxes of these for $12.95 from CMP last fall and my stash is rapidly dwindling with my recent purchase of a Savage 12 BVSS 26" barreled .223 Rem. This rifle really likes them, shooting 1/2 MOA regularly. I tried some of my homegrown, but load development can be hit and miss and so...

    Suggested load for DPMS SASS?

    I have a DPMS SASS with an 18 in. barrel. I have put almost every conceivable factory load through it and there is no question that it likes 168 gr BTHP the best. FGMM groups around 1 inch and Winchester Supreme is a close second. If I go with a lighter or heavier bullet the groups expand out...

    Anybody find a smoking load for DPMS .308?

    Out of all of the factory stuff I've tried, Black Hills, 168 grain did the best, producing sub 2" groups at 200 yards, which was better than Federal 168. The best handload I've come up with so far is Lapua 155 grain Scenars, with 46 grains of Varget, which will do 1/2" out of my bolt gun at 200...
