Factory load 175 gr SMK and SGK shoot pretty close to that out of my .308 w/5R barrel. I love that ammo!

That would be a good group at 100 yards, but very impressive at 200!

Looks good, I think you can turn that up about 3 more grains and may shrink it some..
I run 44.2 Varget with the 175smk and it will shoot .2 or so at 100 yards.

Nice! I am certain that I could not hold that tight at 200 yards.


A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

Yup. This load is the low node. It will probably accept a whole lot more fuel.

178 Amax at 44.8 for my .308. On the high side but showed no pressure in my CTR. Great accuracy for a 100% factory rifle.
