[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1938974, member: 109229"] This is surprising, as the .308 is typically a very forgiving round to reload for (at least IMHO). I have .308s in 20” and 24” configurations and generally shoot bullets in the 168 grain class with more than acceptable results. I use a lot of Varget in the 42-44 grain range. IMR 4895 also works well for me. I’m sure others here are getting good accuracy out of their 20” barrels at extended range but at around 2550 FPS my shortie kinda gets wonky out past 600 yards. I generally shoot 168 ELD-Xs or Ms. I wish you luck in figuring it out. Barring any issues with your rig, the answer is out there. [/QUOTE]
