[QUOTE="Crusty Buck, post: 715010, member: 44282"] Backwoods, Uniformity is the name of the game in that organization. It makes sense, and is kinda cool all done and told that they calibrated it for the AR 4 scope. Having talked with a couple of local boys who served as Marine snipers. They told me that they pretty much can pick what they want as long as it's Rem, 308, 300 Win. or 338 Lapua. They have load masters who cook up their rounds for them. I used Hornady 68 gr. BTHP's in my 223. I shot them out of a Tikka Lite. I once owned a 308 tikka Lite that was awesome, so I bought the 223 on that reputation and experience. I couldn't get the darn thing to shoot tighter than their guaranteed 1", sometimes worse. So, when the time was right it went down the road and the FCP-K magically showed up on my doorstep. I couldn't push the 308 Tikka to the same velocity you have cooked up and keep it under an inch. I know I can load hotter and shoot better with the FCP [/QUOTE]
