[QUOTE="kalindark, post: 787770, member: 40483"] Bushman, I used to shoot a 700 milspec with the berger 168 vlds in comps to 1000 yards. Needed 35 moa for the steel Target. Load data was Lapua brass Fed match primer 44 gr of Varget Coal was 2.860" no I couldn't use my box mag anymore :( Didn't have too good of luck with a 24" barrel. (Missed a lot...). Bullet was subsonic around 850 Just this year I upgraded to a GAP thunder Ranch. Started with the 185 hybrid hunting bullets after reading Brian's book. I was worried with the 22" barrel I would be screwed at the 1000 yard mark. Finally chronoed my load at 2615 fps. I need 36 moa for 1000 yards. Bullet doesn't go subsonic until after 1000 yards. Feels like cheating compared to my factory 700. Load for the TR Lapua brass 44 gr Varget. Coal 2.845 works good out of the ai mag Fed match primer. I honestly feel unless you have a custom gun, its hard to take advantage of the larger 308 bullets in the 308 win. You either lose the mag capability or case capacity for powder. The 185 hybrid was fool proof in picking a seating depth. I would try the 168 hybrid hunting bullet in a factory rig. [/QUOTE]
