    First time Out with 175 SMK .308

    I have been wanting to develop a good load for 175 grain .308, shooting out of my 700 LTR, so I loaded up 42 gr IMR 4064, 175 SMK’s, Federal cases, with Federal primers. I generally shoot 168’s out of this rifle but have been thinking about trying something different. I normally get about ½ MOA...

    Lee Case Length Gauge

I am under the assumption the generally accepted case length for a 308 is around 2.0 (give or take). I took apart a factory FGM round and measured the case length and it came out to...

    C.O.A.L In .308

    Ok, I made a gauge today out of a FGM casing and a SMK 168 gr bullet. I sized and chamfered the casing then split the neck across the axis, and placed the bullet in the neck. It holds good tension, while still allowing me to adjust the length. Placed the gauge in my rifle to find out what my max...

    Fieldcraft Elivated Shooting question

    When taking a shot from approximately 20 feet above the ground, with a angle of 50 degrees, at 230 yards, using a 100 yard zero, will the shot impact about 1.5 inches low from point of aim? The ammo is Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr .308, assuming muzzle velocity of 2650fps, and a scope height...
