308 Win precision velocity help.

[ChuckSwagger]

Here in my country, Brazil, our competition are rare and made in a short shooting ranges, most of then are 100m and some 300m.
My 308 rifle even I being newbie is a .5, .4 MOA in every charge I try.
I use 44.2 of Varget with 168 gn SMK bullets, Lapua Brass, BR2 primers and got 2.710 FPS on my 26' 1:9 twist barrel. SD of 10.

For those matches and looking for precision, should I down the velocity on the 2.500-2.600 fps Range?
Somebody told me the rifles in general tends to be more accurate with lower velocities.

If I had a rifle, and a load that was shooting half MOA easily with good velocity and ES/SD, I would call it done.

Now, if you're talking 100/300m Benchrest comps then those groups are going to make you want more.

Yes try lower fps. You don't need velocity for 300 yrds max. Put the 168s .020" off there lands and try some lesser charges.
