For those out there th's at think 308 is too slow, try the Barnes ttsx 130 grain. My 20" rifle shoots them over 3100 fps and it's an absolute hammer on deer. If you don't like copper, I'm sure the Nosler 125 bt would work as well, but the sectional density probably isn't great. Sectioanl density doesn't matter on Barnes as they will pass through regardless.
@@quarterminutemagnums I to but that is not that old of a box because I have most of the boxes federal used for that load no disrespect intended I appreciate what you do thanks,
I have rebarreled a .308 rifle in 6.5CM and I regret. I have tried so many components and loads but there are flyers all the time (about 0.75-1 Moa average 5shots geoups)
Wind does not effect 308 at 100. I have a custom 308 and 6.5 both shoot 1/2 Moa. If I put a tuner break on them they would probably shoot hole for hole. U must have bought that ammo about 30 yrs ago! Plus the 175 shot bad due to being cheap ammo! Lol
Stop cleaning the rifle! Your groups will tighten up. Shoot till your groups open up then clean the rifle. I have a ruger 6.5 I paid $404 that shoots less than 1/4" at 100 and 1 1/2 groups at 500 yards with factor Hornady match 140. I have 3 other stock rifles less than $600 with 1/4" groups at 100 yards. 7mm rem A bolt, 30/06 interarms, .223 Remington and a Bergara. 300 prc all Shoot better than that. Not impressed
Your words on learning more with a gun capable of shoot .250" could not be more true.
Dear Sir - seriously accurate guns can teach you a lot! Thanks.
Good stuff, thanks again for all you do
Dear Sir - Thank you.

Dear Sir - very good information.......thanks.
When you have gun that good it cost you a lot of dollars because you don’t want to settle for the rest of your gun’s not to be a hammer !
a high coefficient means it performs worse in the wind?
Dear Sir - A G1 of .700 resists wind better than a G1 of .600, .500, .400, etc.....thanks.
I'm most impressed....WITH THE PRICE OF THAT AMMO!!!
Hard to believe that price sticker in these times
Dear Sir - Boy Scout motto: Be Prepared. Buy ahead. Thanks.
@@robertmorphew724 Dear Sir - some people plan DECADES ahead. Thanks.

@@robertmorphew724 Dear Sir - factory seconds.
Does anyone ever wildcat this round? Take .010 body taper out and do a 35 or 40 degree should. That would be really interesting to test.
Dear Sir - almost "everything" has been done. But, if you want to do it again differently, contact me; could be interesting project. Thanks.......
Have you done a video of your 308 love/hate or care to say more here?
Dear Sir - wife number one shot a bunch of whitetails with .308 Winchester, they all died, just not impressively. Thanks.

Dear Sir - I have built several; they all shot good, but none shot great. Thanks.

Dear Sir - please go to a sanctioned bench-rest match to revise your "wind" knowledge. Thanks...
I agree. 5mph wind at 90 degrees will move a 168 grn .308 .250" - .330 at 100 yrds, at least that has been what i have seen.

Dear Sir - ever been to a bench-rest match ? Care to engage in one - for money, on camera?
28” is not real world 308.
Dear Sir - look at the velocities. Thanks.
