Gents,

I,own a 16in 308 DI carbine and a 20in lwrc short,stroke.......what kind of ammo,have you seen work best in each type. I don't expect the 16in to shoot as tight as the 20in lwrc but wanted to,get some suggestions.

I've shot southwest Ammo 168bthp and the 175bthp which both performed really well. To get better groups is there any else out there or do I need to start hand loading?

The 16in DI guns eats anything and loves 147 fmj mil surplus......but it's only about 1-5 moa weapon.

Where should I look at getting ammo?

Thanks!
