OK Guys, Want to do some pretty accurate ammo for .308 w 168 gr OTMs for work at some range. Would like to use primers I have already rather than go out an buy something special ... and don't need bench rest precision. Have CCI 200s, WLR, and Remington 9 1/2s available. Going to use RL-15. Any suggestions abt which primer likely to be best place to start? Thanks, Mike -------------- DRSS, Womper's Club, NRA Life Member/Charter Member NRA Golden Eagles ...

Mike, my rifles like Re15 and the WLR primers. The only other primers I have tried for the 308 is Federal so I can't help you with the rest. Either will make helf inch holes when I do my part.

Larry, WLRs have been good to me as well. May try some of the Remingtons to get a comparison. Have lots of them. Thanks, Mike -------------- DRSS, Womper's Club, NRA Life Member/Charter Member NRA Golden Eagles ... Knifemaker, http://www.mstarling.com | |||

I use the 200 with 168 amax and varget powder. I get a thumb nail size 5 shot group (5/8") 168gr amax 46grs of varget CCI 200 1 shot 1 thrill | |||

wins do better for me with the faster powders. when i get to rl-19 or 4831 federal 210's or rem 9-1/2's, seem to shoot tighter groups. that's with large rifle primers. in small rifle i only have one load that prefers cci's over winchester. | |||

I'm sure your WLR will do just fine. My most accurate load for my 308s is 150 Accubond 44 grains of Norma 203B or RL-15 (different batches of same powder) Federal GM 210 I really like the A-Max bullets. The 155 grain I've tried shoot good. I just haven't found the right combination for my rifles yet. Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.
