Put together a dpms lr 308 and was wandering if any one can give me some ballistic help to save bullits and time. Shooting FGMM 168s. Factory 24" barrel. So far best group is around .375. So I am zeroed at 100, but going to a shoot Sat. after Thanksgiving and need some dope out to 550 yds.

wandering................??


pull up a chair and use the search function



if you are that lazy, then you should not even think about launching bullets past 100yd until you know where they are going to land

Since you're a new guy, and since I've been meaning to do this, so I can save it for the next clueless newby, here's how to do a better search on Sniper's Hide than the forum search function will do.

Call up Google's Advanced Search, here:

Google Advanced Search

Type the search terms in, and type "snipershide.com" in the domain box, as shown below:

Now hit the search button. Read what results. Easy.

we all have crosses to bare.....in your case duke.260.......you prolly ought let someone else do the trigger yanking for you...that way you could live your life vicariously.

Duke,
Really wish I had an answer to your question. Your question is a resonable request.... shouldn't a forum of shooters be able to share information and advice to help others without some one jumping in a calling them lazy, clueless, etc.

How brilliant is it, when you don't know an answer yourself, to tell someone to Search it, Google it, or figure it out for themselves....if that's really the best answer you can come up with for someone.., please at least be polite about it.
 
Re: any one have dope for dpms lr 308

To the OP, to even give you a rough estimate of the dope, we're going to need your muzzle velocity, and to the exact decimals. This is crucial as a small difference in velocity, will give ya big difference in dope out at distance.

Do a 10 measurement string of Chrono at the range (start with a cold barrel), let us know what they are, and the temperature you shot at, and we'll be able to give ya a good idea of what the dope will be. at least to get you on paper out to 500 or so yards.
 
Re: any one have dope for dpms lr 308

Actually, with any .308 and a 168 or 175 SMK, the dope out to 600 yards with a 100-yard zero, in MOA, will not be far from:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code:</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>
Yards MOA
200 2
300 5
400 8
500 12
600 16
</pre></div></div>

That will get you on any reasonably-sized target.

Since I posted, might as well make my contribution to the OP.

Rifle is a Rem700 SPS-V, stock 26" barrel spitting out FGMM 168gr HPBT at an average of 2712 fps.

Here's the dope:

and here's what you really need:

your velocity will be different due to a lot of factors, but use this and the one Lindy provided will be able to get you on paper at the range, and you'll have to fine tune it from there.

Cheers
