[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 1122711, member: 69799"] When using commercial brass, I use 42.5g IMR4064 I consistently get 3 shots touching at 100 yards. I reload for hunting and plinking, so that is plenty accurate for me. I have never attempted a 1,200 yard shot with a .308. From everything that I've read and heard, 1,200 yards is going to be difficult for a .308. I often hear that the 800-1,000 yard distance is the outer edge of effective range for a .308, but that is with a 168g or 175g bullet. You may be able to stretch that out with a heavier bullet. Case capacity for enough powder to get it to 1,200 is an issue. You will most likely have a very compressed load for that distance. A .30-06 or a 300WM would be a better .30 cal choice for that distance. [/QUOTE]
