    This appears to be working on the realm of rpms per bullet length. Which I'm not up on.
    I think this is just turning out to be a finicky rifle.

    One thing I was thinking about trying is loading the bullet to 2.750”. Hornady book says load that bullet to 2.750”, I’ve loaded all my test loads to 2.800”. Maybe just maybe that might make a difference.

    I just ordered some 150gr sst. After I’m done playing around with the 165’s I’m going to give these a whirl.

    Just thinking . . . I have a bunch of the Sierra 155gr "Palma" bullets that I got way back when. They shoot great in any 308Win that I have tried them in,no matter the twist rate.
    They are just not a hunting bullet. --- SAWMAN

    I try to stay away from any type of match bullet, stick to just hunting bullets. As quirky as this gun is being, i sure have been having fun trying different things. Besides the 165 sst that I have been using and the 150 sst that I just ordered, I’ve got some 168 combined technology silver tips and 168 Speer Gold dots to try also.

    I am also going to try a different scope mount than what is currently on it. This is what I have now.

    I bought a new scope mount today. It is very similar to the one in the picture above, but a much better quality product. I feel like the errant shots in my groups were due to the scope mount, so I will give this dnz one a try.

    I just finished an AR308 build with an 18” barrel and an adjustable gas block.
    I tried a number of bullets with Varget as a powder. The best I found was 42gr of Varget with Hornady hp/bt 168gr match bullets (1” groups @ 100yds). I understand this wouldn’t be a hunting round, but it was the most accurate I got. Most everything else was 3” @ 100yds. I will be trying other bullets to find a hunting round.

    I finally got my hands on some more varget. I’m hoping this new scope mount cures my woes.
