[QUOTE="brentc, post: 649660, member: 16938"] Thanks for the input. Every ballistic calculator I can find shows a sizeable ballistic advantage pushing 175-185 class bullets at 2600-2650 fps and 200 grainers at 2500-2550 over the faster 150-168s. There are powders capable of achieving this velocity and then some in a 20" barrel. I am highly considering 185 grain Berger Hybrid tacticals with a.560 BC at around 2600+ fps for hunting and 178 Amax's at 2650 fps for target. I may drop down to the 168 Amax for the increased fps in my target load. This is not intended to take game past 600 yards, but it has to be capable of making sub MOA hits to 1000 with lots of range time. How is everyone setting up their 308 builds to deliver solid sub MOA performance given the requirements I stated above? The whole design of this build is to have a compact, easy to carry package with an 8" suppressor attached. [/QUOTE]
