308

Hey all, I was looking at loading up some 308 hunting loads for a friends Model 70. I was looking at the Nosler manual and noticed Big Game was listed with a Max of 52.5 grains with a 168gr bullet. When running the load through GRT it came back as roughly 85k PSI for 50.5gr of Big Game and a...

Hey all, looking to put together possible a pair of rifles one for me and my girlfriend. I wanted to go barreled action, and a reasonably priced stock. I was looking at a Howa 1500 24" 308 with a heavy barrel for her, but I wanted to try a 300 Win mag for myself however, they don't have one with...

I'm working on a target load for my 308. I've access to a 600 yard range and from time to time I can shoot past that at my friends property. My goal is a load that allows me to practice beyond max range with my woods hunting rifle. Its O.A.L is less than a yard stick the barrel is 16.5" and it...

I have what seems like a good load developed using 178 ELDM bullets with TS 15.5 in Lapua brass but I'm experiencing odd fliers. SD is ~10 fps over a large number of loads and velocity is averaging 2590 fps. On average, out of 4 shot groups (odd number but it's how many my internal mag holds so...

I have a 308 FN SPR with a 6x24x56 MOA crimson trace optic. Weapon zero is at 200 yds, I run out of clicks on the scope close to 1000yards, what can I do to gain additional yardage? I have high rings on the scope, close to 150 clicks up and 100 down is what’s left.

Hello all. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out an issue I had while hunting a few weeks ago. I was able to harvest a doe on opening day gun using my 308 and Hornady Precision Hunter. The shot was broadside and tucked behind the front shoulder under 75 yards and I heard her crash...

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a Sig Cross in a 308. The Cross is a 16inch barrel and I will have it suppressed. With the shorter barrel length, I'm debating what factory ammo would be best out of that shorter inch barrel for elk. This will be my first Elk hunt and the outfitter is advising...

looking for opinions on a new rifle build i was thinking 308 or 30-06 i have currently a 6.5 creedmoor and a .270 but just wanted a 30 caliber gun for availability for bullets And have a bit more knock down power when hunting elk and moose at further distances, i never shot a 308 but heard it...

This is a much delayed build. Mostly because I just put it on the back burner. In March 2017 I contacted Greg at SPR to build a Remage Bugnut barrel in 300 Sherman. Also, I bought whidden loading and hydro form dies from Rich along with a go gauge. There have been several delays along the way...

Hi all, my mame is Luis and I'm in warm Tucson AZ. I grew up in Old Mexico and my dad was able to get me hunting at an early age. I was 8 when I shot my first Javelina and I was 9 when I got my first desert mulie. We did way more hunting when we lived there than now that I live in the US. I...

I decided to get me a new gun. I really wanted to get something I could shoot a lot and work on my load development, reloading and shooting skills. I decided to get a savage 12fv in .308. It seems like a good deal and will fit what I wanted to do with it, plus be a good staring point to build...

Just shot this at 880, had to adjust my bc, then the wind started switching on me as I laid down the waterline of shots. Went with a bc of .259 at 2678fps out of my 308 with the eldm. Was a little low, going to adjust my velocity down to 2670fps. That would put me right in the center of the...

Hello everyone, my BIL just ordered a Savage 11/111 Trophy Hunter XP in .308 I am going to be loading up some ammo for him to shoot (no farther than 300-400 yards) for hunting deer. I have some Varget powder and hornady 165 grain SST boat tail bullets. I would like to try to get a decent load...

Hi Everyone, A friend of mine got a Ruger American Predator rifle in 308 with the 18" threaded barrel that we are having some trouble trying to get it to shoot. I had actually recommended he look at that rifle based on the stellar reviews I have read on here about the same rifle in 6.5 CM with...

I'm helping a buddy make a load suitable for moose and mule deer for his 308 mil-spec. 11.25 twist. I recommended the 178 eldx, wants to practice pushing his range farther after hunting season. Is there any other bullets he should be looking at. For those who use the 178 eldx is varget the best...
