Just wanted to see what combos some of you are running with reloads. I think I am gonna go with Remington brass for now. CCI 200 primers, hogden power, and Sierra 168's. Shooting mostly 4-700 meters, range practice only. Not much of a game hunter here. I'm new to reloading and just have the single stage hand reloaded from lee precision. Not sure if anyone is using that too. I just bought this REM700 AAC-SD last weekend and I'm going out tomorrow shooting factory brass but want to see what I should reload after. I thought there was something about the 1/10 twist liked 168 grain bullets.???
308 reloads specific to the REM700 AAC-SD

1:10 twists can handle up to the 200gr-210gr class of bullets. 1:12"...ehhh 175gr-180gr, but barrels are different.
You'll be fine with the 168s at the ranges you mention. They are an inherently accurate bullet.

Yup, both my 10 & 12 twist barrels love 168s, little tip Ill leave you with is seat those 168 Sierras to fit the mag, 2.810" should be good, what IMR powder are you using, 4064? 42-43grs should work.
