I have an 11VT in .308. I have been shooting bulk 150 grain bullets with 42 grains of IMR4064 sending the bullet on it's journey. At 300 yards, it is good enough to keep a 4 inch circle at 300 yards. Recently, 7 steel targets, body size waist to head, have been put up at 850 to 1100 yards. I am planning on getting some 168 or 175 grain bullets to try my luck at them. I KNOW the powder is going to be the IMR4064. Going to keep all my rifle loads with 1 powder and all handguns with 1 powder. They might not be the best powders but it keeps me happy. It is bare ground, so I will be able to see the hit in the dirt and adjust as needed. I'm also going to try different charges; I know what the books say about load vs speed but they say nothing about practical shooting at distance. Is 42 grains going to be enough to get the bullets close without having to do a 45 degree aiming angle? Any useful info on bullets or charges would be greatly accepted. Thanx
