[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1851014, member: 5302"] Back in the day when 308's were popular in long range matches, here's what shot the best scores. Bullet diameter had to be at least .0002" bigger than barrel groove diameter. These loads were popular in 24" long barrels up to 1000 yards: * 180 grain bullets: 43 gr. IMR4064. * 190 grain bullets: 42 gr. IMR4064 or 44 gr. IMR4320 * 200 grain bullets: 48 gr. IMR4350. These loads may be subsonic past 1100 yards and accuracy will decrease. [/QUOTE]
