For 308 & 168 Mk in Hunter Class. Tried & true old time favorite IMR 4895 or BLC2? Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | ||

When I first started shooting Hunter Class BR, the load was Sierra 168 and H4895. NRA Patron Life Member Benefactor Level | |||

1:12" rifling, .308 BT in 168 gr to 172 gr. Hodgdon or IMR 4895, but follow the recipe and don't use Hodgdon loads for IMR powder, or vice versa. With Hodgdon, I started the loads right in the middle of the powder specs. But loads are loads and guns are guns. There's no magic formula. | |||

168 Sierra match with Varget shoots so well in my Rem700PSS; I may never try any thing else. Enjoy the summer. Jack | |||

Doug, if you want to compete, on a level playing field, with the other shooters, you should get some custom made bullets Check the match reports. No one, in the top 20 finishers, is shooting Sierra bullets. If you go to benchrest.com, and visit the classifieds, there are several ads for custom 30 cal. bullets.

when my gunsmith built me a tight neck .332" HBR rifle, he said 150gr MK's and start at 39.5gr of H4895. Go to 43.5gr and somewhere in there the rifle will put five under half an inch. At 41.5 it did. Rich | |||

In a 308 you might try the Sierra and 39.5gr of IMR 3031. If that does not shoot into one hole go up or down a little till it does. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||
