175

So I was shooting an AR10 in 308 yesterday (prone, bipod and rear bag) and I'm just trying to figure out what load it likes (eventually try to replicate that load with handloads). I shot some cheap stuff and got cheap accuracy (2-3 MOA) so I pulled out some 175gr FGMM. My group was about 2 MOA...

After much consideration and thought into re barreling my savage 110 I have decided to use what I have and focus my money on my wife's new found love for the shooting sport. So in a nut shell for my future happiness and ability to get more of the cool stuff because she wants to also I am...

who has them in stock?

Has anyone used any surpluse .308 175 FMJ BT? If so how consistent/in-consistent and accurate is it? Worth pickin up or stick with A-max or SMK. I'll mostly be under 600 but want to take to 1000 thanks,

These are listed at a certain store for 8.5 twist barrels or faster. Will they stabilize in a 1:9?

I have got the components, I have done a significant about of reading and now I need some handholding and definitive advice (I know a true oxymoron). When you are loading .308 ammo how many try to duplicate Gold Medal Match, M118LR, etc. That is to say 2.800 on the nut for length and 45 (plus...

I need some bad if anybody knows of any to be had please let me know

We're about to begin a process on Sierra M/K 175 projectiles, and we're going to use Hexagonal Boron Nitride. After a number of correspondences with the maker of the rifle, he's agreed that HBN is superior to Moly in that HBN doesn't have the eventual adverse effects on the bore inherent in...

holy shit i cannot find a single 175smk any damn where. you guys got any leads?????????

Can someone please tell me what Sierra's max load is for a 175smk over H4895? Neither of my books have data for 175s; only 168s. I've got a Sierra reloading manual on the way, but I'd like to start loading this morning. Thanks in advance. Joe

just got 200 new peices of brass and want to make a fgmm 175 clone, but possibly only have 178 amax avialable, oand have rl 15 and varget, need a load suggestion to start. its a 10 twist LW 21" barrel with a match chamber done by hd rifles if that matters. Thanks in advance guys

Anyone have a clone load for 175 FedGMM using IMR4895?

Anybody shooting 175 SMK out of their 7 WSM? What powder and how much? Do you like it better then a 180 Berger?

Is there a thread or ballistic table, or can any of you help this 308 newbie understand some of the downrange differences in the different weights? Also, the xm80... do we like it? and what for?

Depending on your POV, Ive either had really good luck, or not and have only ever shot M118, 118LR and M852 thru my bolt gun, I have no exp with civillian ammo. That being said, I no longer have access to Uncle's ammo so am transitioning for the short term to factory loaded match ammo till I...

What is the difference between the 168gr SMK and the 175gr SMK? The weights are so close that it can't just be a 7gr difference in weight. Is there some other difference? Here the 175gr SMK seems to be favored over the 168gr. What are the advantages? Another question on the same subject. I...

Does anybody have a 'known good' G7 BC for the 175gr .308 SMK? I get anywhere from .239 to .253 depending on which combination of software/data I use. The closest "good" data I could find is a .240 G7 BC cited here on the Hide by Mr. Litz for the .308 178gr AMAX (published .495 G1 BC) -- so...

Just a general question here, what's the most windage you have ever had to apply at 1000 yds with a SMK 175? While I was at Sniper School, I remember using 4.5 mils right on the UKD range (wind was absolutely horrible) at, IIRC, roughly 950 yds. I ask this because I'm considering buying a USO...

Greetings, All. I've had this buzzing around in my head for the past couple of days... Any of you have an opinion regarding the Cor-Bon .308 190gr. SMK ammo, especially versus a benchmark 175SMK like Federal or Black Hills? Does the better BC of the 190 offset its greater weight at longer...

Weather was sunny with a temp of 68 degrees. My range is at around 400 ft above sea level. The rifle is a GAP, Schnider barrel, 1 in 11 twist. All loads measure 2.80" OAL. Powder charges measured with a Chargemaster and loads assembled with Forster Benchrest dies. Velocity numbers are based on...
