308 ammo

[Dawg2019]

I was wondering what factory loads members have been getting the best precision results from? Not exactly looking for a hunting load, just an accurate range ammo for long range shooting.

+1, plus whichever ammo shoots best out of your rifle.

My 308 loves the Norma hunting with the elk on the box. 1/2” at 100 yds

This shoots extremely well in a couple of my rifles. I have a Tikka T3 that this shoots this ammo well under MOA and under normal times is it fairly cheap.

if all you are looking for is precision... this has consistently been the best ammo I have found.. Lake City match (military) is also consistently excellent..

I used FGMM for several years as a sniper round when I was so employed... it was also the only round I took to a variety of training courses (FBI Sniper, US Army SRT Sniper, POST Precision Rifle, etc..etc..)..

If you're looking for a precision "hunting" round.. Barnes Vor-TX is about as good as it gets (for my rifles)..

Great advise. I will have to pick some up and try with my new setup.
