I've got a Remington 700 in 308 that I started reloading for to get the best accuracy possible
First, my gun: it started life as a Remington 700 ADL varmint with a blind box magazine, a Cabelas special. It's got a 1:12 bull barrel that is 26" long... I got it for a great price. Since then I dropped it in a Magpul Hunter stock and topped it off with a SFWA super super 10x42 fixed moa quad scope.
After experimenting with loads and powders, I finally shot the best group of my life and the rifle's life, using my hand loads.
The load is perfecta brass with seller & bellot primers, 39.5gr of VARGET and a 173gr M1 FMJBT (pulled from old military ammo). I got a .467 inch group at 100 yards.
Since then, I've found several other .5 moa group loads, and since my M1 bullet supply is finite, I'll had to switch to a different one.
What are your guy's best gun/load combo?
