Had to go to the range to test a new load and after that didnt work I tried the old standby 168AMAX, 42grs RE15, Lapua brass, CCIBR primers, 2.820", and this is the sickness I get.

Re: My 308 SPSS is SICK!!
Nice! I've discovered Reloader 15 too! It has become my go-to powder. I run 41gr. In Lake City Match Brass and leave mine at an even 2.800. My chamber is an Obermyer Chamber so it's a bit tight. I can barely even feel the brass when I full length re-size it. On a really good day my rifle will knock out Quarters at 300yds.
I have this mental defect... When I try to shoot 5-shot groups at 300+yds #3 is always a flyer! I'm just a retard!

Unlike your Obermeyer chamber this is pure factory cept for the H-S Precision stock, oh and the Jewell bottom safety trigger. I NS my Lapua brass to get about .003 neck tension so a .334 bushing is in order. Isnt that something with those damn flyers, we all get them. You should see the one I got at this same distance with 105Hybrids in my 6mmREM, the other 4 shots went 1". Here's a view of my 308.

I'd be happy to take that 'sick' rifle off your hands! Very nice shooting...

Well, I was using 44grs RE15 with Win brass and wasnt getting consistent accuracy, then I dropped the load to 43grs and enjoyed tighter groups, I then switched to Lapua brass and since lapua doesnt hold as much powder I dropped it again to 42grs and seated the bullets deeper to 2.820" oal. So Ive been working on this load since spring I guess. Though the first loads with the 168AMAX was spring of '11.
