What loads work well in 308win. Shooting model 12 savage. Currently using 168 a-max. Sub moa, but want to get under 1/2 inch. Hunting groundhog.
A model 12 Savage?? are you shooting a savage F/TR with a 30 inch 1/12 twist barrel or something else?
168 gr A-Max and 43 gr 8208 XBR shoots in the .3's and .4s all day long for me.
Anyone new to loading the .308, and maybe some veterans as well, should take a look at this article. Very good, well worth the read:

Don't you beleive it. I shoot it well past 600 regularly with good results. Nothing wrong with the 178 if you've got a load built for it. It's all in what your particular rife likes best.
