Finalized the .308

[b.faust]

So I did more testing, and finally settled on 42 grains of Varget for my .308 168 gr SMK

After making some scope adjustments for the new load I settled and shot as best I could.

The best of today: (with one flyer, my bad)

10 shots @ 100 yards.
(Noveske N6, with a SWFA 3-9 optic)


And so thanks again calgun peeps and especially you folks here in the reloading section, for all the great tips, advice and discussions. I don't think I'd be doing this without you all.

Don't forget group sizes are measured from the center of the hole, not the edge.

Well now it's about .4
I feel even better
Thanks Joe!

Noveske N6 is really capable of a .5" 10 shot group at 100 yds? Wow, very impressive!

I called BS on that too till I started reloading. I kept hearing how it would shoot .5 moa or less at 100, but I never got it below an inch. Usually a little over.

Then I started reloading....

Are you weighing your brass and heads? If not,give it a try,also you can get Nosler 155`s in seconds that will squeeze those groups down a little bit more.

Not yet. I'm going to start separating my brass into manufacturer lots next, and weighing the bullets and brass.

How much +/- is acceptable?
