[QUOTE="liltank, post: 806583, member: 13275"] Sounds like you have a good handle on things. You definitely want to keep your fired brass in the same round count. As you shoot it, it will harden to some extent (hence the annealing process after multiple firings). You may want to try and anneal some of your brass. If you want to stick with 168's, I would suggest the Berger Hybrid. That is what I use in my short barrel .308. It shoots very well out to 900. Probably further, I ran out of turret due to velocity. They have the highest BC of any 168, and most 175 grain bullets. Anti-cant device is definitely the bubble level mounted on your rifle. I highly suggest getting one. They are quite useful and help to keep everything straight. As far as parallax and the side focus. I just adjust until its clear. I don't bother much with the pre-set distances on the knobs. If you can adjust the eye piece, set that so you can see a crisp cross hairs. I was told to look through the scope into the sky, preferably on a cloudless day, and adjust the diopter until the crosshairs look crisp to your eye. Loading each round shouldn't be an issue. The big thing with that is staying on the gun and not moving from your position as much as possible. I started doing that this year, and have seen some improvement on my prone shooting. [/QUOTE]
