I haven't posted here much in a while, so I figured I'd put up some targets from yesterday.
I've been shooting 168 SMK's in my .308 PSS, but I decided to try out the 175's to see if they would shoot. I shot a series to figure out how much powder it likes, and came up with 43 grains. This is the 5 round target, shot at 200 yards:
At 200 yards, it put 4 of the 5 in 0.32", and the fifth opened it up to 0.91".
Corbon was also nice enough to send me a free box of 175 ammo to try out. (Please don't call them to ask for free ammo, this was a 1-time deal, and they got flooded with requests.) Since they did this, I'm trying to let some others know what I found of their ammo. It's top-grade stuff, made with Lapua brass, CCI Benchrest primers, and 175 SMK's. I shot 3 5-round groups with it, 1 at 100 yards and 2 at 200 yards. The targets:
At 100 it put 4 in .53", with the fifth opening it up to 0.78"
At 200, it put all five in 1.26" and 1.28".
So, even from a factory gun, this ammo was shooting closer to 1/2 MOA than 1 MOA- good stuff indeed.
