hangunnr Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I also hit the range today with a Remington 308. Been working on finding a good load for this rifle. The factory freebore restricts me from getting anywhere near the lands so I was a little frustrated with the results until today. I've settled on seating the bullet .15" further out than recommended. They won't fit the magazine but that's OK seeing as this is a range toy and not a rifle for serious use. Here's the results... Left is a 3 shot group from a prone off of bipod position. I need to work on controlling the butt of the rifle. On the right is a 5 shot group off of a front rest and a rear bag. With the McMillan stock it really sits tight off a good rest. I found it interesting how the bullet cut the target differently from the 2 different positions. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem308 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 WOW! That is a great looking setup you've got there, and the shooting is something else. That 5-shot group is something I can only dream of. Good shooting, glad to see some other posts up (and always nice to see a great shooting .308).

Rem308 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm going to take your advice and pick up a box of the Federal Gold Medal Match ammo. I'll be sure to post how the rifle handles 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
