I just bought this combo for a deer/antelope hunt out west next year and for blasting various garden & chicken robbers, like coyotes, groundhogs, etc. I sighted it in at 100 yds and am getting close to 1" groups with store-bought winch superx 150 gr sp. I thought that was awesome, considering I'm not the best shot. What about reloads? I have a basic set up - what are some of your favorite loads for this gun? Much thanks for the info!
165 grain sierra gameking
Federal Gold Medal Match primer
43.7 grains IMR 4895
Winchester case
Clocks around 2700, max load in my rifle. Reduce 10% and work up. Shoots 1/2 MOA or less in my bone stock 10fp that has 2k down the tube.
...I'm running the same except Nosler 165gr BT's & 42.7grs of H4895
There are many good .308 bullets to choose from... I like the Hornady 165gr SST bullet & H4895 powder, that would be my choice for deer.
Lapua case
42.2 RE-15
Fed 210m primer
.308 168 A-max
2.805" base to tip
Will shoot thru the same hole with my 10FP. I have actually pulled the bolt and looked down the bore to make sure the bullet exited the barrel because round after round were going in the same hole.
