[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 284248, member: 313"] I've been fooling around with a Lawton based .308 for awhile now. The 165gr Accubond over 44.0gr Of RE15 in a Lapua case with 210M primers is putting every round on a 1.25" orange dot at 300yds. I never built the rifle to shoot much farther than that but I'm rethinking the whole utility of this rifle considering the ballistics and the accuracy. Velocity is 2,700 ft/sec Just for the heck of it I loaded 5 Nosler 150gr E-Tips with the same load and had them set .050" off the rifling. Shooting @ 200 yds produced a 4 hole group of .6 with a single bullet 2" away. ?? I'll give her another try. The Oheler wasn't set up so I could only guess as to the accuracy. I'm really starting to like the .308. The best part is I won't have to replace the barrel every 1,000 rnds like the big guns. :D [/QUOTE]
