I finally had a day to work back to 1000 yards with the new SPS. I couldn't have asked for a better day. It was 72 degrees, sunny, 5-10 mph breeze blowing from 3:00, and moderate relative humidity. I didn't have good data past 450, so I worked my way out gathering data along the way. I found the JBM chart I had printed was a great guide all the way out, I only needed a one click elevation correction at all ranges. I brought one of my co-workers with and we took turns at each distance gathering data. Once we got close to dialed in at 1000 yds I managed about a six inch group which was centered approx. 14" above center while shooting prone supported. Drop was 12.9 mil @ 1000 yards. Now I've got some good baseline data to work off of. Now to keep collecting data in different conditions while I buckle down for some serious practice. All in all, a good day at the range.

Re: Range report - 1000yds w/ 700 SPS & FGMM 168gr
Your come-ups should have been about 12.4 Mils with a 100 yard zero. If you were 14" high of center with 12.9, then you are very close to right on. Your wind drift in a full value wind should have been .034 Mils per each 1 mph.
You should seriously consider going with the 175 SMK's. Those 168's just won't hack it. They are too slow at 1000. The Berger 185 LR BT's are the best in the .308.

That should make you smile.

Thank you for the input. I had wished I had some 175s, but had just ordered a bunch of 168s. Most of my shooting recently had been within 600 yards, where the 168s do very well from my rifle. My next order will be in 175s. I was using .3/mph for wind that day. I'm going to try and get back out and shoot it some more at 1000 yds this weekend. Perhaps I'll try some Berger 185s also.
