Yep. I'm assuming that its due to barrel harmonics.

I'll report back on Friday, after some more testing. I switched to the Amax to have a better hunting round, and I had a couple hundred of them already....

41.5 shoots pretty good, its a slow load though. Truthfully, I abandoned the 175 SMK for this rifle and have been working on 178 Amax loads. I save the SMK for my bolt gun now.

I have good luck with IMR 4064 - start at 41.5 - 42.2

I would look at the Hornady 155 Amax lines over Tac, 8208 XBR, IMR 4064 or Varget 168 SMK/Amax/BTHP over the same, 168 Nosler BT shoot very well too.

This is a great place to start: Loading Recommendations for JP Self-Loading Rifles I have a LRP-07, 18" light contour (basically the hunter with a few upgrades), so far 175 smk's similar to M118 or FGMM work great, as do 168's. I think a better question is what are you wanting to do with...

Douglas barrels are used in the Mk12 rifles Good barrels, you'll be happy.

I own two of these: one on a mk12 with the velocity reticle (which works very, very well if you have a proven load and one on a JP LRP-07 308 with the MOAR reticle. I can't say enough good things about them, great glass, built right, lightweight. They are true performers in their class of...

Vortex HS 6 x 24. Mine was 750 shipped from Amazon

All of mine are 1/10 - 18" gas gun and a 26" bolt. They both hold sub MOA using factory FGMM 168, 175 and reloaded 155's just fine. If I could find some 110 grain a-max bullets I'd love to test those as well. . . .

How far off are you?

The only FFP in the 2.5-10 world, that I know of is a Vortex Viper PST Vortex also offers a 2.5-10 x 44 but it is SFP I personally own a NF NXS 2.5-10 x 32 with the Velocity 600 LV reticle and I can say it works, and works very well... however you really need to have your proven load already...

Mine was ordered last Dec amongst the panic, had it in 5 months. Per their website, they are currently 8 - 18 weeks on an LRP-07. My bet is if you ordered a JP, it will show up closer to 8 than 18 weeks.

Check out the JP LRP-07 guns. Much shorter wait than GAP and very well made

The nice thing with FFP scopes is that if you have a ranging reticle (Mil dot, NP-1, MOAR, etc) then you don't have to be at full power to use it. So when I'm sitting in my stand watching my food plot on 2.5 power I have full ranging abilities without moving my arms to use turrets or to zoom...
