What is your favorite .308 target load?
« on: January 14, 2004, 09:21:53 AM »
I am considering Sierra 168 grain Matchking with 42 grains of RL15.
This was Sierra's recomendation when I called.
I will be shooting out of a Winchester Heavy Varmint.

What is your opinion and what is your favorite target load?

Thanks!

Jonr

Recently I've been having amazingly good results with the military 175gr. match bullets and 42.0gr. AA2230-C in my M700. It's regularly in the .3's for 5 shots.
