Cabela's Savage 12FV THREAD FEST

[alltherage]

I have a FV in .308. I've been spending alot of time shooting 168 hornady bthp. They have done ok, but i'm finding better accuracy with heavier bullets in the 180 area. My most accurate 168 grain load was with 44.5 grains of varget. I was able to get 1/2 moa at 150 yards but i can't say it was the most consistent load. seems more consistent with the heavier bullets.

My best 168bthp load so far has been with 46gr cfe223 but the bolt is a little sticky. 44.5 of varget and the 168 amax worked very well but I may try and drop down a couple tenths and see what happens. How long can you load the 180s?
