20" brl ,, sps tac. .308


i have a shooters app called "reloading", you can enter load data and it alows you to put in powder and gr , ex , the only thing i dont like is the oal is preset and you can not adjust it , so its saying with my load set at 2.775oal it should be running 2713fps ,, i run at 2.810

Impossible to tell without a chrony, but try 16-18MOA from a 100yrd zero.

Re: velocity with varget?

ok how did you all come up with these MOA movements?

i put the estimated velocity of 2680fps in to a calc , and it states 15.8 moa

Do it enough times and you get a rough idea of the amount of adjustment it's going to take.

I shoot an LTR (20" barrel). With 100 yard zero I'm at 15.5 MOA at 600 yards with 168 SMK, 45.1 g Varget, 2.80 OAL, Lapua Case, WLR. This should get you on paper.

Re: velocity with varget?

Good #s thanks

Re: velocity with varget?

Well got out shot some 600yd

Set @ 17moa and was hitting low

Did 100,200,300 &600
checkimg bullet drop

Any how I think 18moa would get me on target, 3rd group was 6.822 in at 600, so need to work on my load a bit and my rifle skills for sure

Any how thanks for the info
