[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Preferred Handloads for DMPS .308?

Posted: 8/28/2005 7:32:57 AM EDT

I've got some 175gr Match Kings and some 178gr Hornady A Max bullets. I'll play around with this when I get my rifle back together. In the meantime, I'm just curious what other folks are using, in terms of bullets/powder.

In my 24" model I use 168 gr bal. tips with 44 gr. R15

Get really tight groups, sub MOA. Cloverleaf groups common.

Thanks...I'll have to give that a try. I use a lot of Reloader 7 in my .223s with good results, so maybe the 15 will work good in .308.
