SPS Tactical 308 Range Report

I had been shooting prvi partizan 308 match with near MOA results, best 5 shot group was .997. I did not want to pay 30+ bucks per 20 rounds for decent match ammunition. So I started reloading and worked up 5 different loads, 10 rounds each, and headed to the range.

Here is a picture of the rifle:



Today the weather was in the 40 - 50 degree mark with 15-20 mph winds.... Not the best conditions, but I do not get much range time these days.

Now the good part...

The best load was as follows:

Hornady Match 308 Brass
168gn Hornady BTHP Moly
43.2gn Varget
Remington Primers
OAL = 2.8"

A close second

Prvi Partizan 308 Brass
168gn Hornady BTHP Moly
40.4gn Varget
Remington Primers
OAL = 2.8"

Here is the best group (5 shots) from 103 yrds according to the range finder.

Group is .73" for outside to outside
Center to Center was .42"





I am very happy with the groups. I had several groups right at .5" today but this was the best one. I also forgot my shooting bags today so I was shooting off the bipod with no rear support in high winds. I want to get out on a calm day and see if I can get the groups under .4"

yes it is the choate. No better stock for the money in my opinio.

Thanks for all the replies. The scope is a 6-18 Nikon Buckmaster, a great scope for the money. For my next build I think I am going with a Vortex Viper as they are getting great reviews and have better glass.

wnycollector that is exactly why I purchased my 168gn ppm. It shoots decent for the money... not the best, but allows you to reload the brass and it seems to be decent brass but it is a bit difficult to get some of the primers to fully seat.
