[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1138248, member: 5302"] If you're going to shoot at 800 to 1000 yards (long range in USA NRA matches), 190, 200 and 210-gr. bullets will probably shoot most accurate in your 1:10 twist 26 inch barrel. 47 to 48 grains of IMR4350 under 200's in .308's have won many a match at long range; I've done that a few times. Or 42 grains of IMR4064 and 44 grains of IMR4320 under 190's will do and have done as well. After you've used up that BL-C2 ball powder, get some stick/extruded powders. Those in speeds of Varget and IMR4895 for 150-gr. or so bullets, IMR4064 or IMR4320 for 168 to 190's. Ball powders do not have a good track record in long range accuracy events. Medium and short range ones, too, for that matter. Meanwhile, BL-C2 will probably do best with 150 to 170 grain bullets. [/QUOTE]
