Accurate powder and load for .308 FMJ / Match Bullets , for DSA Rifle.
What I meant was the most accurate load for this caliber in the DSA 58 AT ONE HUNDRED YARDS then later at further distance. Using FMJ and MATCH BULLETS. Lone Bear!You should be more specific , "accurate powder" as in the powder that produces accurate groups , OR AAC /Accurate Arms powders , like 2520 ,4064, 2230 ect ?
Also , details on the rifle you have.

X-Treme 147 gr FMJ
Just trying to do some target shooting at the range , after put on my DSA 58 a Night Force 5x20 scope all I could get with 47 gr. WW 748 is two to three inches at one hundred yards. Looking for at least a half inch to one inch same distance .But guys, he’s using MATCH BULLETS

You’ll need to stop smoking crack so you have money for all the ammo spent in this endeavor!Just trying to do some target shooting at the range , after put on my DSA 58 a Night Force 5x20 scope all I could get with 47 gr.

My FAL is at least five years old. Barrel broke in to their specs. Just installed a Night Force 5 x20 illuminated . The only loads I've shot in it was both reloads 46.5 gr. WW 748 for the one forty seven gr. By Extreme FMJ and the one eighty six match HP Bullets that I had a bulk of bought on sale two years ago, loaded with WW 748 with about forty five grains CCI Primers Both shoot about the same , two to three inches at one hundred yards. No problems. With the long twenty six inch std. barrel. So far I use the Speer , Hornady reloading Manuel's. I believe the Extreme FMJ's are more accurate. 155 gr. BTHP I will try in the spring range time. Not any time soon , it's hunting season . Thank you for your reply. I will keep you posted on other powers as I check them out. Lone Bear!Is your FAL brand new or considered broken in? Does it have any cycling or bolt holdback issues? Asking as it would affect my powder recommendation. The basic Hornady 155gr BTHP shoots best out of my FAL. I stay away from any bullets with plastic ballistic tips just to ensure consistent chambering.
Not the most accurate rifle? My AR 15 shoots more accurate. I'll experiment with different powders and bullets if the accuracy doesn't improve to at least two inches, I'll replace it with a heavy barrel bolt action like a Remington 700 or close to it. Thank you for your reply! Lone Bear !An FAL isn't a 0.5-1.0 MOA rifle no matter what. I know, I had one, and I sold it. Shoot whatever the rifle runs with, and be happy you got 2-3 inch groups. Many only shoot in the 3-4 inch range.
They were extra Hornady 168 gr. Match that were laying around and the 147 gr. EXTREME FMJ both loaded with WW748. I believe the FMJ were more accurate. I'll try your suggestion and let you know in the spring.Lake City or Federal brass, 42.5gr TAC powder, 2.700"
I wouldn't bother shooting match bullets through a DSA FAL
