Does ANY self-loader prefer Hornady?OTM's it would stay around 1 MOA, but it did NOT like anything Hornady that we had.

You want "context of professional use?" Check out the Barrett REC10. Barrett understands military/LEO needs as reflected by the history of .50BMG M82/M107 and recent MK22 MRAD Advanced Sniper Rifle contracts to the military. They make proven weapons. Ronnie and Chris "don't make no junk.....don't put their name on no junk." They make the real deal stuff that "Protects the Protectors of Freedom." Barrett understands cans in service also. ASR MK22 Deployment Kit, although bolt, comes with barrel adapter installed on the 3 barrels in .308Win, 300Norma Magnum, and 338 Norma Magnum for their suppressor......as chosen by USSOCOM. Although your application ranges will be typically much shorter than the ASR MK22, be aware that the semi-auto M82/M107 50BMG is being phased out in favor of the 338NM MRAD bolt gun for material interdiction. Lighter weapon and ammo....carry more rounds afield......less issue prone. USSOCOM finds a shooter, at long range, can send it, run the bolt, get back on target to spot own hits within flight time of modern military rounds at long range. ASR MRAD is change barrel.....under 2 minutes....for caliber conversion and barrel replacement by operators in the field. See GARAND THUMB and DEAD POET SOCIETY YouTube videos shooting the MK22 with Ryan Kleckner (retired Special Forces) and Kevin Owens (retired Special Forces and member of USSOCOM ASR specification/selection/.evauluation team )for an in depth perspective of MRAD MK22 criteria. In 308Win, how many rounds do you really think you are going to send in any operation?Ladies and Gents,
If you have a moment, I'd like to ask for some advice. My department is looking to acquire a semi-auto precision rifle for our team. As I read through the forums, I see KAC, LMT, and LWRC mentioned quite a bit, but rarely in the context of professional use. I seek opinions based on direct use by those who opine. What do you recommend?
The criteria are: capable of at least MOA accuracy, semi-automatic, .308 WIN, 16-18" barrel, ability to run suppressed without being tremendously over-gassed. This rifle would be expected to operate in all weather conditions common to the southeast Pennsylvania/Central Jersey area. We are issued 168gr ammunition capable of near-match accuracy. I know I'm asking for the moon. How close can I get and with whom?
Any thoughts on cans? TBAC is nice, but I'm concerned about use on a semi-auto with respect to getting over heated.
Thanks for your time.

Why do you / your Dept. as LEO's need suppressed weapons ??? Or is this something for "your team" to use in PRS match's ?Ladies and Gents,

Not my thread, but I'd like to counter that with, why is it an issue for the dept or members to have suppressors?Why do you / your Dept. as LEO's need suppressed weapons ??? Or is this something for "your team" to use in PRS match's ?
Notice how some like to live vicariously through your departments budget

And electronic "ear muff's" are way cheaper than can'sBecause a can is cheaper than workman's comp and hearing loss.
still waiting for the OP's answer

You should have comms regardless of the suppressor
I’m genuinely curious as to why LMT is excluded in your experience.
