Re: Remington 700 sps tactical 308 ammo
Reloads or factory ammo?
Mine shoots under .5 with FGMM 168 smk stuff. @ 100 yards
And 175 smk over 44.5gr of varget in a Winchester with BR-2 primer and coal at 2.800 under .5 at 100 yards.

Re: Remington 700 sps tactical 308 ammo
Just yesterday a young shooter was breaking in his SPS with 175 grain FGMM and was shooting 1/2" 100 yard groups consistantly. I was spotting for him.

Look at Southwest Ammo too, its probably some of the best factory stuff out there, and for a good price.

Re: Remington 700 sps tactical 308 ammo
Recently I ran some Federal Gold Medal Match, Hornady Match & some HSM all with 168 grain bullets through my SPS. They all shot well under sub-MOA, even with some shooter error. I'm really looking forward to coming up with some hand loads.

Re: Remington 700 sps tactical 308 ammo
I'm reloading similar to a lot of these guys (175SMK, 44gr Varget, Lapua Case, BR2 primer, 2.82" COAL) and my $500 Remington is retardedly accurate. It's a bit disappointing how good this thing shoots because it makes my other rifles look bad.
With that said, I've had good success with 168 Federal Gold Medal Match and the 168 BTHP Hornady Match ammo (haven't tried the 168 A-Max's).

Mine REALLY shoots well with factory Hornady 168gr Amax match.
Hopefully it shoots as well in my AAC-SD.

FGMM 168, Black Hills 168, and my personal favorite: Handload consisting of 168 SMK and 45 grains Varget.
