[QUOTE="Lowlander, post: 2134309, member: 115963"] I have had great luck with the 185VLD in my 308 AR. I'm still working on finding "the" load for it. Like many others I have best luck with 168 weight bullets. My barrel is 1:11.25 twist though. I shot this a few weeks back Hornady 168bthp, 42.6gr IMR4064: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210228_133743286.jpg"]256441[/ATTACH] For whatever reason, 42.6gr was the sweet spot for it. I'm getting close to these same results with the 185gr, 41.0gr IMR4064: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210228_133908721.jpg"]256443[/ATTACH] I'm still getting a flyer with them, I'm loading ladders now in .2gr increments and I'm going to try some IMR4895 too. I can get consistent 3/4-1MOA groups with FGMM 185gr Juggernauts. It's my go to factory load. I would be loading up 185 Juggs if I could find them. I have best luck with 168's and 185's. Granted I'm running a gas gun with a slower twist and 18" barrel. With your rig, I would definitely be looking into the heavier offerings. Berger 185's are my go to in this particular gun. [/QUOTE]
