    Remington 700 aac-sd
    20" 1in10
    40.5 imr 4895
    Win brass...win primer
    Smk hmk amax 168
    2.015 coal
    Getting under an inch group on a good day at 200 yrds
    @65 degrees
    Only about 2400 fps though...around a 5" drop between 100&200 yards. Gonna have to bump up powder to increase velocity but not sure the group will be as tight.

              Please post at least three 0.25 MOA 1000yd groups that you fired on the same day.

                Please post at least ONE 0.25 MOA 1000yd group that you fired EVER. Or even one from 100 yards.

                  I, too, would like to see this group. Just ONE will satisfy my curiosity.

                        Does anyone have a good load for a GAP-10 in .308? I will be receiving my rifle soon and would like to work up some loads before it gets here. Thanks.

                              Thicker brass will drop the node by 1/2gr.
                              That means that Lapua or Lake City brass will be lower charges than most other commercial brass.
                              Yup

                              My 700 SPS T has a node at 43.6 - 44.3 and again at 45.5 - 46.0

                                Guys, I have a question regarding my AR10 DMR setup... (if I missed a previous posting with the same question please excuse me)

                                Does anyone have a similar setup like mine below and which bullet works best for you at 450 to 600 yards?

                                AR10 semi-auto, 18" 1:10 twist, rifle length gas, Ares Armor barrel (not match)

                                Newbie reloader here with the following bullets, brass, powder, primer....
                                Powder: IMR 4046 / Primer: CCI 200's
                                Bullets I will be testing and requesting your opinion for near optimum (not maximum) powder load.....
                                168 grn Horny Amax BT
                                178 grn Horny Amax BT
                                180 grn Horny Interlock SPBT

                                200 and/or 220 Sierra MK or Lapua BT (I dont have these but thinking about buying some to test)
                                ....do I need to up the powder to 4839 (is it? forgot the #) on heavier bullets?

                                Thanks for your input guys!
