[QUOTE="scsims, post: 672183, member: 9755"] Shooting from the backyard load development range this morning, trying out 175 SMKs out of my 308. I want to tighten up my groups past 600 yards. Lapua Brass Fed Match Primers Varget Powder 175 SMK [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/scsims/IMG_20120710_101731.jpg[/IMG] I loaded 3 rounds each: Tested at 100 yards: 42gr = 2479, 2509, 2529 fps group = .567" 43gr = 2517, 2605, 2586 fps group = .568" 43.5gr = 2614, 2609, 2622 fps group = 0" one hole barely could tell that 3 shots went through. 44gr = 2646, 2658, 2670 fps group = .9" 44.5gr = 2696, 2684, 2679 fps group = .822 two in one hole 45gr = 2727, 2743, 2744 fps group = .512" two in one hole I'd like some advice on which I should choose to improve on for 600-1000 yards? I plan on selecting one and loading up more for 200 yard testing. These are the ones I'm considering..... I like the 3 in one hole but the velocity is a liittle slow for LR shooting?? The other 2 could have been me..... or the some other anomilly.
