Hello, Haven't seen any load data for this caliber so I thought I'd post what I've been working so far and maybe get some additional contributions. I've been out only a couple of times due to lack of range options here in upper WI (Shiocton under major revamping, Machickanee closed due to...

Well, first time on the range w/ this rifle. 30-378 WeatherBy Accumark w/ a Vortex PST 4x16-50 FFP scope. Since load data is scarse and limited, I started w/ 93 grns of IMR7828 SSC and loaded up to 96 grains by .5 grain increments using Norma brass, 210 Federal primers and 208 BTHP Hornady...

Right behind you w/ 30-378 I'd be curious as well. I have a lot of IMR7828 I use in a .270 Wby Mag shooting Hornady Interbond 130 grn. Last time on the range had an exact 1mm offset hole in hole at 303 yrds using 71 grns of powder at 3350fps. Now, stepping up to the 30-378, I'd like to...

Mark, I'm running a PST 6x24 FFP on top of a DPMS LR-308 and have 2k rounds through it. I initially heard about zero creep in the Vortex's scopes, but have not seen it. Last week I did a 4 & 1/8 inch group at 935 with the rig. At that range, I had 8.3 mils dialed into it. Even though I was .8...

One of the bad things that happened on the trip is my wife went to Sleeping Bear Dune where you can climb the 500 yrd vertical dune and she got the camera full of sand. I'm scrambling to either clean it or replace it for her trip to Peninsula State Park, WI here in 5 days. I'd take picks of the...

Well, just got back from my vacation in MI and spent a day on the Marksmanship Training Center Rifle Range. The best group of the event was a 4 1/8 inch 3 round group at 935 yards. First time pushing out this far with this rifle. Was extremely happy with that group. Following group at a...

Wow - Too Cool! Jon, Congrats on having the little one interested! Your quite fortunate! Obviously your getting good groups to allow you to wait so long on a cleaning. I'm running a DPMS LR308 and getting 1MOA at 600yrds. I've been interested in the Creedmore caliber. Can you provide...

Re: Need Help understanding shot groups Sorry guys, not the respones was looking for. I've shot over 700 rounds greater than 400 yards with just under MOA at ranges out to 600 yards. Anyways, talked to numerous accomplished shooters on my side and the common agreement was the wind died for...

Well using my DPMS LR-308, had a horrific deer season missing multiple deer running shots, which I normally make w/ my Weatherby. I went to the range today to see whether I had bumped the scope. I shot several groups that are so odd, I thought I'd post here with the following information for...

Re: DPMS LR-308 Accuracy (Reloading) Sterling, had to laugh at the surpise question. It definitly can be a struggle pouring money out the barrel to find what works. I now have 150amax, 180ballistic tips sitting on the bench and a # of varget. I need to see what the varget does w/ the heavier...

Re: DPMS LR-308 Accuracy (Reloading) Thanks guys for your input. Always fun to talk the talk. Just came off the range this evening. Ran some IMR4895 41.8 grns w/ 180 grn Hornady AMAX and SST rounds. Had a 10mph FV wind that really made the AMAX spread and drift. The SST's at 41.5 grns gave me...

Re: DPMS LR-308 Accuracy (Reloading) Alright, I want to thank each of you who replied! I agree, there's alot more to the story that needs to be told. I am firing from a Harris 9" bipod and supported in the rear off the pistol grip, still holding the rifle tight by the front fore tube (free...

Re: DPMS LR-308 Accuracy (Reloading) I just read an interesting posting (http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=206231) where user L_Pucket comments on using heavier bullets for 1-10 twist. I'm wondering if a 190-200grn bullet would bring better accuracy? Searching!

Re: LR-308 Trigger Upgrade? Thanks all for the replys. I went w/ the JP trigger. After settling in, the trigger has a 3.8# pull and 1/8 trigger creep. The $120 spent was well worth the money and reflects in the better shooting groups.

Hey guys, I've put a ton of time on the range running IMR4064, Varget and H4895 through the rifle. First 200 rounds were 165gr Ballist tips and just finished running 180/178gr SST & AMAX through the rifle w/ H4895 exclusively due to groups from the 165gr bullets. I'm at 1.1 MOA with this rifle...
