Best Bullet or Load for Scar 17 to hit sub MOA?

[thedarkknight]

Has anyone done a sub MOA load for the Scar 17? What bullets, bullet weight, powders, etc were used? I bought different ammo to see what stick ammo shot best and so far it’s 175gr Federal Gold Match SMK. Anything better to replicate?

I got ~1MOA w/ FGMM 168gr in my 17... when I tried my bolt gun loads in it w/ 168 Berger hybrid the thing could shoot down to 0.75MOA. I'd test out some combos of 168/175g and used IMR4064/Varget with quality brass/primers. It always seem to be a winning load for 308 loaders

Nice! So the 168 works better than the 175? Have you used CFE 223?

I have generally have seen people liking 168 over 175 for their 17s. You should definitely try yourself as every barrel, and it's harmonic node, will vary
