My First .308 Reloads *Range Report*

[Pete1979]

I put mine in an owl ear front bag behind the bipod so it is pretty close to the action.

Try 42.x grs XBR for clover leaf groups.

Just my limited 2 cents - you might want to NOT use a bullseye target for your group shoots. I find it hard to really get a good read on horizontal and vertical references (as there are none). Your other diamond shaped targets are better. Assuming you are using a scope, the diamond with lighter 1" grid pattern helps to stay on target. I'm a nubbie to rifle shooting so please take my comment in that light.

I primarily load with IMR4895 for most of my rifle calibers as well, what charge weight do you use?
