[QUOTE="Maq Attaq, post: 581923, member: 39097"] Finally was able to get out to the range with the 308 for a break in period. It is a Remington VLS 26" - 1:12T Bull Barrel topped with a Leupold VXII 3.5 x 12 x 44mm and a Harris bi-pod. I do not reload, YET, so I bought the cheaper Hornaday Steel Match 155gr BTHP. I was impressed with the caliber and the round. Every 3 shots I cleaned the bore and followed this process with 50 rounds. It did not take long to get it dialed in at 100yds. 1/2" group....going to the farm in a couple of weeks where I can reach out 300-500 yds. Going to pick up some more of the 155gr and also some 168gr match ammo and see how it does at those distances. Really really pleased with the set up.....
