Sharpshooter
Ok,so I am hooked on trying out high power this summer. I even went so far as to talk my brother in law into letting me use his rock river national match rifle. Of course, he gets to use my .308 AR while I have his, but hey, I now have a rifle to shoot for this stuff.
I am not sure what to do about reloading for this rifle. It has a 20 inch barrel, and is 1 in 8 twist. I have plenty of 55gr Hornaday BTHP, and 55gr Hornaday SP projectiles. I have been running WC844 on these loads, but have not really gotten spectacular results yet on my own rifles. Best so far is about a 3 inch group at 100 yds.
Should I work on developing a load with these components, or do I need to move to 69gr ( or heavier) projectiles and a different powder. ( I do have some varget stashed away). I have yet to work on any loads for this rifle, but I don't want to waste my time on a projectile that isn't well suited for the task ya know?
ETA: this is 5.56
