[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 646316, member: 5302"] When the .308 Win. was "the" cartridge for shoulder fired rifle matches, the most accurate loads for 168 Sierra's was 43 to 44 grains of IMR4064 in full length sized or new cases. This worked wonders across all sorts of bolt action rifles as well as semiauto service rifles, the M1, M14NM and the M1A commercial version. Most of the matches won and records set with 168's used this load. Worked well up to 600 yards but at longer ranges sometimes the bullets went subsonic before going through the target paper. For longer ranges, use 43 grains of IMR4064 under a 175 grain Sierra or 42 grains of it under a Sierra 190. [/QUOTE]
