i have a springfield gov't model scope calibrated out to 700 yards on my m1a, does anyone know the load specifics for a 168 grn bullet to make it fly right with the range marks on the scope
The Springfield .308 scopes are calibrated for 168 grain match bullets at 2550 fps
According to the instructions with my Springfield 4x14 scope (same as the ones posted by USMAGator above)

on page 4, pargraph A:
The 180 grain SP at 2650 quoted by USMAGator is for a .30-06. I don't believe too many M1A's like the OP's shoot .30-06.
That being said, I put mine on my M1A with a $250 steel Sadlak mount and never shot it. Took the whole mess off because I didn't like the way it balanced with a big heavy scope way up in the air. Anyone looking for one that's never been used PM me with an offer!
