Hey guys I know a lot of guys have a LMT 308 MWS on here and most probably don't have a chronograph. So I was hoping that we can start this thread and get some data on here for everyone running a LMT 308 MWS.

So if anyone has any velocity readings or DOPE for their LMT please post it here.

Please post as much info that you can.

Barrel Length, Type of barrel, Load, Velocity, Drop, Dope, Temp, Altitude, Baro pressure, 100 yard Groups etc.....
